Robotic-assisted thymectomy: surgical procedure and results.
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 approach is growing rapidly, while the debate on the adequate technique for thymectomy remains open. METHODS We describe the technique of robotic-assist...
متن کاملRobotic Thymectomy
After the great success of minimally invasive approach in abdominal surgery, thoracoscopic surgery has gained a broad acceptance for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures due to the fact that permits good exposure of the pleural cavity, enables extensive dissection and combines the advantages of minimal invasive surgery with little tissue trauma, short recovery, less pain and improved cosmetic ...
متن کاملRobotic–Assisted Thymectomy in Patients with Nonthymomatous Myasthenia Gravis
Complete removal of the thymus and fatty tissue adherent to pericardium is crucial for treating myasthenia gravis. Our aim was to analyze our surgical and clinical results and early experience of robot-assisted thymectomy in patients with nonthymomatous myasthenia gravis. Between January 2008 and October 2010, 8 patients, all women, with nonthymomatous myasthenia gravis underwent robot-assisted...
متن کاملThymectomy via open surgery or robotic video assisted thoracic surgery
BACKGROUND Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RVATS) is a relatively new technique applied for thymectomies. Only few studies directly compare RVATS to the mainstay therapy, open surgery (sternotomy). METHODS A systematic search of the literature was performed in October 2016. The meta-analysis includes studies comparing robotassisted and open thymectomy regarding operation time, leng...
متن کاملTrans-subxiphoid robotic thymectomy.
Minimally invasive surgery has replaced median sternotomy for resectable anterior mediastinal masses and is performed by various approaches. We developed a new minimally invasive surgical procedure by combining the subxiphoid approach performed through a midline camera port with the use of a robotic surgery system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). A 3-cm transverse incision was made 1 c...
