title: [Esophagectomy using videosurgery].
abstract: This is a report of 10 cases of esophagetomy by videosurgery. Five patients had esophageal carcinoma and five had achalasia. The patients who had neoplasia were submitted to thoracoscopic, laparoscopic and cervicotomy and the others who had benign pathology were submitted to laparoscopic with transdiafragmatic approach and cervicotomy. The evolution was very satisfactory but there were complications that had no relation with the method. The follow up is being made and we have no sure about real results.
