Perioperative outcomes comparison of robotic and video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy for thymic epithelial tumor: a single-center experience

ConclusionsThe early clinical efficacy of robotic thymectomy was proven comparable to the established VATS approach, and such a modality might have strength when obtaining larger specimens, which could contribute to improving long-term efficacy. Despite the longer procedural duration recorded in the early stage of conducting robotic thymectomy, further accumulation would help decrease the time.
