This study aims to analyze the characteristics of esophageal cancer and robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) across geographic areas. We performed a retrospective analysis of the Upper GI International Robotic Association (UGIRA) international database from January 2016 to April 2024. Forty centers worldwide that were known to perform RAMIE were involved in establishing this consortium. The patient characteristics, surgical techniques, and short-term outcomes of RAMIE were compared by each regional area (Europe, Asia, North America, and South America). A total of 3,916 RAMIE cases were registered in the UGIRA database (2,643 in Europe, 1,130 in Asia, 111 in North America, and 32 in South America). The median age was 66 years, and 80.5% of patients were male. Notably, Asia had a high prevalence of squamous cell carcinoma (91.2%) and predominant use of the McKeown approach (94.9%). BMI was lower in Asia, whereas comorbidities were more common in Western countries across all types. The use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiation was lower in Asia (48.2% and 20.8 %, respectively). Postoperative complications also differed by region; pneumonia was most common in Europe and South America, cardiopulmonary complications in North America, and recurrent nerve injury in Asia. In conclusion, regional differences were observed in baseline characteristics, treatment approaches, and complication patterns in patients treated by RAMIE for esophageal cancer. Recognizing these variations is essential for fostering mutual understanding and advancing the field through international collaboration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/dote\/doag042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,11]],"date-time":"2026-04-11T11:39:27Z","timestamp":1775907567000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Regional
