Abstract

Abstract:

The incidence of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction （AEG） has been rising， With the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques， laparoscopic surgery has continued to mature and be widely applied.Generally， the transthoracic procedure has advantages for patients with Siewert I and those with longer esophageal invasion， while the transhiatal approach is suitable for patients with Siewert III AEG.The controversies regarding surgical methods and lymph node dissection strategies mainly focus on Siewert II AEG.This article mainly summarizes the hot issues of AEG lymph node dissection and the strategies of laparoscopic lymph node dissection by combining the existing expert consensus and the author's experience， aiming to provide a reference for clinical practice..

Key words: Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction, Laparoscopes, Lymph Node Excision
