Core Tip	Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for upper gastrointestinal cancer reduces intraoperative blood loss and postoperative pain, leading to faster recovery. It also results in better cosmetic outcomes. The impact of MIS on postoperative complications and long-term outcomes has been under debate. We have recently demonstrated that use of da Vinci Surgical System might reduce postoperative local complications including pancreatic fistula after gastrectomy and recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy after esophagectomy.
