Abstract    The use of the laparoscopic technique in adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) is based on the Siewert classification system. After more than 10 years of clinical practice, the treatment of laparoscopic surgery in AEG has shown some advantage. It has been confirmed that laparoscopic technique is safety and efficacy for early cancer. However, due to the tumor site specificity and biological characteristics, it still needs the results of multi-center prospective randomized controlled study to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of laparoscopic surgery for AEG. Only by choosing the suitable surgical cases strictly and following the principles of radical cancer surgery strictly, laparoscopic technique can be performed with minimally invasive advantages and similar long-term effects compared with the traditional surgery.
