Subxiphoid approach for thoracoscopic thymectomy [PDF]

Surgical Endoscopy, 2002
Avoiding sternotomy, cumulative experience has demonstrated the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive thoracoscopic thymectomy. Previous reports describing the transcervical, left or right thoracic approach, although demonstrating promising results, involve some compromise of the surgical exposure.

Robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery thymectomy

Journal of Visualized Surgery, 2017
In recent decades, mediastinal surgery has undergone radical innovations. In fact, introduction of minimally invasive methods, such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), showed several clinical benefits over median sternotomy. Recently the introduction of robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) has added more technological advantages in
