We reported the technique ofthoracoscopic esophagectomy with preservation ofazygos arch for less invasivenesss. Among thoracoscopic esophagectomy, this retchnique indicated for the patients with the tumor located at middle or lower thoracic and don't reach adventitia. Twenty-eight patients was performed this procedure and azygos arch were preserved in all cases. None the cases were converted conventional thoracotomy.
