Robotic assisted transaxillary thymectomy: Novel approach to thymic surgery.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: We present a video case with a novel, minimally invasive approach to the thymus, which does not require a sternotomy, thoracic incision, or entry into the pleural space.

Utilization of Minimally Invasive Thymectomy and Margin-Negative Resection for Early-Stage Thymoma.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive thymectomy (MIT) has demonstrated improved short-term outcomes compared with open thymectomy (OT). Although adoption of MIT for thymoma is increasing, oncologic outcomes have not been well characterized.

Robotic versus thoracoscopic thymectomy: The current evidence.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to analyze all relevant comparative studies comparing robot-assisted minimally invasive thymectomy (RATS) and video-assisted thoracic surgery thymectomy (VATS) in terms of surgical and short-term outcomes.

Unusual late presentation of metastatic extrathoracic thymoma to gastrohepatic lymph node treated by surgical resection.

General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
In advanced stages, thymic tumors tend to spread locally. Distant metastatic disease is rare. We present the first report of single metastatic abdominal lymph node in a 37-year-old female patient and 5 years after an extrapleural pneumonectomy for st...

Robotic-assisted thymectomy: surgical procedure and results.

The Thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon
BACKGROUND: Thymectomy is an essential component in the treatment of myasthenia gravis (MG) and the best treatment for localized thymoma. Minimally invasive thymectomy has advanced to include robotic-assisted techniques. The acceptance of this approa...

[Robot-assisted Extended Thymectomy via a Bilateral Approach for Patients with Myasthenia Gravis].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
Extended thymectomy is a procedure to remove the thymus gland and surrounding adipose tissue, while the traditional approach via a median sternotomy, minimally invasive approaches such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robot-assisted...

[Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery for Mediastinal Tumors].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
The subxiphoid approach in thymectomy provides better visibility around the left brachiocephalic vein than the lateral thoracic approach. Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is easier to parform than video- assisted thoracoscopic surgery for surgery...

[Robot-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for Mediastinal Tumor in Our Department].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
In 2019, our facility introduced robot-assisted surgery for mediastinal tumors using da Vinci Si, which was upgrade to da Vinci X and Xi in 2021. Initially, the unilateral thoracic cavity approach was used for robot-assisted surgeries. The unilateral...
