Core Tip This retrospective study demonstrated that minimally invasive thoracoscopic esophagectomy, when combined with laparoscopic gastric mobilization, provides superior short-term outcomes compared to conventional open surgery for esophageal cancer. It minimizes surgical trauma and accelerates recovery, reduces postoperative pain, systemic inflammation, and stress response, and ultimately enhancing patients’ early postoperative quality of life. These findings support broader clinical adoption of this minimally invasive surgical approach.
