Abstract

BACKGROUND: Thymectomy is widely used to for the treatment of thymomas, thymic cysts, thymic adenocarcinomas, and other thymic diseases. The development of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) thymectomy by our team offers the advantages of a glasses-free 3D thoracoscopic system for pulmonary surgery. The aim of the present retrospective study was to compare the advantages and short-term outcomes of glasses-free 3D VATS . 2D VATS for the treatment of thymic diseases.
