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.

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.

The efficacy of F-FDG-PET-based radiomic and deep-learning features using a machine-learning approach to predict the pathological risk subtypes of thymic epithelial tumors.

The British journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether the machine-learning approach using 18-fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG-PET)-based radiomic and deep-learning features is useful for predicting the pathological risk subtypes of thymic epithelial tumor...

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...

Machine-learning-based computed tomography radiomic analysis for histologic subtype classification of thymic epithelial tumours.

European journal of radiology
PURPOSE: To evaluate the performance of machine-learning-based computed tomography (CT) radiomic analysis to differentiate high-risk thymic epithelial tumours (TETs) from low-risk TETs according to the WHO classification.

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.

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...
