Robotic Mediastinal Surgery in Patients with Suspected Thymic Neoplasms: First Israeli Experience.

CONCLUSIONS: Robotic thymectomy is a safe, technically effective surgical method for resection of thymic neoplasms. The advantages of this technique are safety, short hospitalization period, little blood loss, and low complications. We have included this surgical procedure in our thoracic surgery residency program and recommend a learning curve program of 10 to 12 procedures during residency.
