Radical lymph node dissection (LND) along the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is surgically demanding and can be associated with substantial postoperative morbidity. The question as to whether robot-assisted esophagectomy (RE) might be superior to video-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy (VATE) for performing LND along the RLN in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains open. The investigators will conduct a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial (termed REVATE) enrolling patients with ESCC scheduled to undergo LND along the RLN. Patients will be randomly assigned to either RE or VATE. The primary outcome measure will be the rate of unsuccessful LND along the left RLN, which will be defined as 1) failure to remove lymph nodes along the left RLN or 2) occurrence of left RLN palsy following LND. Secondary outcomes will include the number of successfully removed RLN nodes, postoperative recovery, length of hospital stay, 30- and 90-day mortality, quality of life, and oncological outcomes.
