The purpose of this case-control study was to evaluate the impact hybrid minimally invasive esophagectomy for cancer on surgical stress response and nutritional status. All 34 consecutive patients undergoing at our unit between 2008 2013 were retrospectively compared with open gastric tubulization (open), matched neoadjuvant therapy, pathological stage, gender age. Demographic data, tumor features postoperative course (including quality life systemic inflammatory status) compared. Postoperative similar in terms complication rate. Length stay intensive care shorter (P = 0.002). In first day, had lower C-reactive protein levels 0.001) white cell blood count 0.05), higher albumin serum level 0.001). group, remained also third 0.06) seventh 0.008) resulted post day 0.04). Hybrid significantly improved catabolic trauma, contributing a length unit.
