To assess short and long term outcomes after minimally invasive esophagectomy compared to
open esophagectomy. To compare both standard outcome measures as well as patient derived
outcome measures, in particular, quality of life (QOL). To look at the applicability of this
QOL instrument to this patient group.
open esophagectomy. To compare both standard outcome measures as well as patient derived
outcome measures, in particular, quality of life (QOL). To look at the applicability of this
QOL instrument to this patient group.
Assess short and long term outcomes after minimally invasive esophagectomy(MIE) compared to
open esophagectomy. Measure standard observer derived outcomes such as morbidity, mortality,
tumor recurrence and also patient derived outcomes, in particular quality of life (QOL) using
the MOS SF36 questionnaire. Evaluate whether the SF36 will accurately reflect pre and
postoperative changes in clinical status in this patient group.Compare the results of this
global QOL instrument (SF 36) to disease specific scales of dysphagia and reflux. Assess the
impact of adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy on QOL in this patient group and determine if any
advantages of MIE can be demonstrated.
