Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Rationale: Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) have been increasingly used and are regarded as suitable alternatives to open esophagectomy. However, few previous reports described minimally invasive esophagectomy using a left-sided approach. Patient concerns and diagnoses: A 71-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of progressive dysphagia. Synchronous double primary thoracic esophageal and left lung cancers were considered before the operation. Interventions and outcomes: A lobectomy and MIE, via a left video-assisted thoracoscopic approach, was performed. Preparation of a gastric conduit and an intra-abdominal lymphadenectomy were completed by laparoscopy and a cervical anastomosis was made. In addition, a cervical mediastinoscopy was performed to dissect the lymph nodes along the bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerves. No postoperative complications were observed. The patient achieved a favorable short-term outcome. Lessons: This is the first report of a patient with synchronous esophageal and left lung cancers treated with minimally invasive resection via left thoracoscopy, laparoscopy, and cervical mediastinoscopy. Our results showed that the left MIE approach in combination with cervical mediastinoscopy is potentially most appropriate for some esophageal cancer patients, when the right MIE approach is not applicable in certain conditions.
