An investigation included 33 patients with cancer of thoracal section of the esophagus at the age from 42 to 74 years old. A surgical method of treatment was applied as only one in 13 patients and methods of nonadjuvant chemoradiation therapy were used for 20 patients. A hybrid minimally invasive esophagectomy (laparoscopic mobilization of the stomach and right-side thoracotomy) was performed on 16 patients. The rate of postoperative complications consisted of 31%. The minimally invasive esophagectomy (performed by totally endovideosurgical approach) was carried out in 15 cases. Postoperative complications developed in 53% of follow-up patients. There weren’t cases of lethality. The experience of minimally invasive methods indicated the satisfactory results of application of given methods in patient treatment of esophageal cancer. The use of endovideosurgical approaches allowed performing oncologically adequate volume of operative interventions.
