Minimally invasive resection of thymoma

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: : Minimally invasive thymoma resection is a hot debate topic in thoracic surgery. However, more than 14 techniques have been described for approaching the mediastinal region, although the type of resection should be similar in all. In this article, we aim to review the literature on thymoma operations that included minimally invasive thymoma resection. In addition, we share both our clinical experience and surgical techniques, mainly including VATS and robotics.
