Figure 1. Esophagotomy. A 60-mm linear stapler was used to dissect the esophagus. In the DST case, the dissection was made orthogonally to the esophagus, whereas in HDST, the dissection was made at a slight angle to the esophageal long axis. DST: double stapling technique; HDST: hemi-double technique.
