Core Tip	Minimally invasive surgery for esophageal diseases is very attractive for reducing potentially serious complications that can occur after conventional surgery. However, if the oncologic long-term results remain the cornerstone of any procedure to treat malig-nancies, determining the outcomes of surgery for benign diseases requires a deep analysis of published evidence and a comparison with alternative pharmaceutical or endoscopic treatments.
