Robotic Thymectomy in Thymic Tumors: A Multicenter, Nationwide Study [1]

This study evaluated the surgical and oncological results of RATS thymectomy to demonstrate the approach as technically safe with acceptable outcomes. Of 669 patients, complete thymectomy was performed in 98 percent of cases and in 8.5 percent of those cases, resection of surrounding structures was undertaken. A total of 3.4 percent were converted to an open approach, but no perioperative mortality was observed. Five and ten-year recurrence rates were 7.4 percent and 8.3 percent respectively.
