The hybrid esophagectomy is a procedure that combines an initial laparoscopic approach in which the gastric conduit is prepared preserving the right gastroepiploic artery, followed by a right thoracotomy for resection of the esophagus, gastric pull-up into the chest, and esophagogastric anastomosis. Critical surgical steps should be carefully respected to perform a safe operation.
