    Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) aids in identifying the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) during esophagectomy, reducing postoperative vocal cord paresis.

  • 2

    Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) enhances dissection precision and facilitates radical lymph node resection compared to traditional methods.

  • 3

    The study aimed to document the feasibility of IONM during totally robot-assisted Ivor Lewis esophageal resection with extended lymphadenectomy.

  • 4

    Patients with lower esophageal cancer underwent a standardized evaluation and treatment protocol, including neoadjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy.

  • 5

    Continuous nerve monitoring is standard in thyroid surgery, while intermittent stimulation was used for RLN detection in esophageal surgery.
