Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIO) offers a less traumatic resection for cancer patients resulting in improved quality of life. Concerns about the oncological efficacy procedure and potential impact on survival may have limited its wider adoption. This study reports outcomes fifteen years after underwent total MIO esophageal cancer. A single-centre analysis was conducted all who between 2004 2010 had completed at least 15-years follow-up. Actual overall (OS) disease-free (DFS) were evaluated with Kaplan–Meier method. The pattern association patient factors assessed Cox regression analysis. 121 resection, 4 (3.3%) in-patient deaths. With median follow-up time 15.2 years, OS 41 months. At there 20 survivors (17.1%), numbers 10 5 being 34 (29.1%) 45 (38.5%) respectively. Median DFS 27 months, 19 (16.2%) disease free 15 32 (27.4%) 38 (32.5%) Predictors poor intracorporeal fashioning gastric conduit, perioperative blood transfusions, advanced stage recurrence. Long term following support increasing recognition as standard care curative
