Core Tip	Esophageal cancer remains a highly aggressive malignancy with significant implications for patient health. This retrospective cohort study demonstrates superior outcomes with total thoracoscopic ultrasonic scalpel resection vs electrosurgical resection. The ultrasonic scalpel significantly optimizes perioperative indicators, reduces postoperative pain, enhances immune function, suppresses inflammatory mediator release, preserves pulmonary function, while demonstrating a lower complication rate. These advantages support its broader clinical adoption for esophageal cancer resection.
