In this study, we would conduct a prospective randomized study to compare the surgical results between the Tri-incision and Ivor Lewis approaches for esophagectomy in treating esophageal cancer. Both of the procedures will be performed by video-assisted thoracic surgical (VATS) esophagectomy and laparoscopic gastric mobilization and esophageal reconstruction. The primary end-point will be the overall survival and secondary end-point would be perioperative complication, postoperative recovery and quality of life.
