Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), during which lymph node (LN) dissection, especially recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) LN dissection, is particularly important and challenging. This study aimed to investigate the LN metastasis of stage T1b mid-thoracic ESCC and explore the clinical value of RLN LN dissection.
