Nowadays, thoracoscopic laparoscopic esophagectomy (TLE) has been widely used in the treatment of esophageal cancer. In recent years, robot assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) has been developing vigorously. According to the research progress and practical experience in the world, RAMIE has the same safety and effectiveness as TLE. In this paper, several aspects on this novel operation were demonstrated, including the safety evaluation, lymph node dissection, prognosis of RAMIE, comparison of RAMIE and TLE, and the role of RAMIE in multidisciplinary treatment of esophageal cancer, in order to promote the rational application of RAMIE in esophagectomy.
