Robot versus video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy for large thymic epithelial tumors: a propensity-matched analysis.

BMC surgery
BACKGROUND: Both video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) thymectomy and robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) thymectomy have been suggested as technically sound approaches for early-stage thymic epithelial tumors. However, the choice of VA...

A Propensity Score-Matching Analysis: Robotic Thymectomy Through the Subxiphoid Has Advantages Over Video-Assisted Thymectomy Surgery.

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
The purpose of this article is to evaluate the security and effectiveness of subxiphoid and subcostal robot-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy (S-RATT) and compare it with subxiphoid and subcostal video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy (S-VATT) in t...

Robot-assisted thymectomy in large anterior mediastinal tumors: A comparative study with video-assisted thymectomy and open surgery.

Thoracic cancer
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of robot-assisted thymectomy (RAT) in large anterior mediastinal tumors (AMTs) (size ≥6 cm) compared with video-assisted thymectomy (VAT) and open surgery.

[Robot-assisted Mediastinal Surgery].

Zentralblatt fur Chirurgie
Because of the many important anatomical structures located closely together at very small distances, mediastinal surgery has been traditionally demanding and challenging within thoracic surgery. With their great variability, mediastinal masses in th...

Long-term outcomes of robot-assisted radical thymectomy for large thymomas: A propensity matched analysis.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term results of robot-assisted (RATS) thymectomy in the treatment of large thymomas, defined as larger than 5 cm.

Full subcostal subxiphoid robotic-assisted radical thymectomy: preclinical cadaveric study for optimizing patient positioning, table settings, and port configuration.

Updates in surgery
Robotic subxiphoid transthoracic thymectomy showed several surgical advantages. Nevertheless, the intercostal insertion of trocars may lead to nerve injury with enhanced post-operative pain. Moreover, the dissection of peri-diaphragmatic mediastinal ...

Surgical Tips to Improve Completeness of Transsubxiphoid Robotic Extended Thymectomy.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
Removal of adipose tissues located behind the left innominate vein and at the aortocaval groove is technically complex for minimally invasive extended thymectomy. The study describes the technical tips of the subxiphoid robotic procedure to remove th...

Robotic thymectomy: A surgical point of view.

Multimedia manual of cardiothoracic surgery : MMCTS
Robotic thymectomy is the most innovative surgical approach for treating disease of the anterior mediastinum. Robotic surgery offers low postoperative morbidity, faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, and better cosmetic results, without compromisin...

Complications of robot-assisted thymectomy: A single-arm meta-analysis and systematic review.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Recently, thymectomy using minimally invasive approaches has been increasing with the development of robotic video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (R-VATS). Although multimodal approach is effective for robot assisted thymectomy, it is nec...
