Currently available literature on elderly patients undergoing an esophagectomy is inconclusive and dates from the time before minimally invasive techniques were widely implemented. 
Methods: Length of hospital stay, 90-day morbidity and mortality were analyzed from patients undergoing minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) between 2014 and 2017 in a single center. Data from patients aged 76 years or older were compared to patients aged 71 to 75 years old. 
Results: A total of 187 patients underwent MIE. Nineteen patients aged 76 years or older (group 1) were compared to 41 patients aged 71 to 75 years (group 2). Median age was 77 years (76–83 years) in group 1 and 72 years (71–75 years) in group 2 (P},
