“…Another large-volume multicenter study that compared outcomes following TTE and THE found the two to be equivalent, although higher-volume centers had lower morbidity and mortality rates (8). Nonetheless, open esophagectomy has the highest mortality and morbidity rate within the field of elective gastrointestinal surgery (9). Therefore, early reports of MIS for esophageal cancer have been received with interest (10).…”

“…Therefore, early reports of MIS for esophageal cancer have been received with interest (10). Gemmill et al (9), who systematically reviewed 46 studies on minimally invasive resection for esophageal and gastric cancer, concluded that MIS is feasible, but randomized studies are needed before a definite conclusion can be drawn. There are also comparisons of the results in Western and Eastern countries, finding that the latter had better results.…”

“…Recent nonrandomized studies have shown a lower rate of major complications than that observed in open surgery; 17,18,21) however, a large systematic review concluded that the actual benefits remain obscure in terms of short-and long-term outcomes. 22) On the other hand, in 1994, Cuschieri 23) first reported the cases of six patients treated with thoracoscopic esophageal mobilization in the prone position (PP). Since the proposed technical and physiological advantages over LLDP are not fully understood, the technique has not become widely spread among esophageal surgeons.…”

“…The results point toward marked underdetection of psychiatric comorbidities among patients with complex FGIDs. Previously reported prevalence rates of psychiatric comorbidities were much lower in FGID patients, namely, 40 60%, whereas psychiatric comorbidities were observed in less than 20% of healthy controls 23 .…”

“…Additionally, unlike the situation in the US, the development of MPU related integrated care did not stop there. At the moment, 40 MPUs are operational in the Netherlands, starting with two MPUs in the late 1990s and still growing nationwide 23 . Moreover, 'MPU field standards' have been published and evaluated along with a 'general module for hospital psychiatry' 23 25 .…”
