Summary

Recently, robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) has become into as an alternative approach to either, open surgery or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The superiorities of RATS have been reported in series studies, such as intuitive movements, tremor filtration, more degrees of manipulative freedom, motion scaling, and high-definition stereoscopic vision.

However, the currently reported robotic thymectomy used 3 ports. Theoretically, less incisions may bring faster postoperative recovery, lighter postoperative pain and higher postoperative quality of life. The investigators have successfully performed robotic thymectomy through 2 ports and even 1 port. However, the potential benefit of less ports robotic thymectomy has not been verified through well-designed cohort study, so this clinical trial has been designed.

Conditions

  • Thymoma
  • Myasthenia Gravis Associated With Thymoma
  • Thymectomy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Sigle port RATS

The incision is performed in the 5-6th intercostal space under the breast folds without violating the mammalian tissue. This port is used for the camera and both arms simultaneously.

PROCEDURE

Two ports RATS

The incision is performed in the 4th intercostal space along anterior axillary fossa, for the camera and left arm. The other incision is subxiphoid longitudinal incision about 4cm for the right arm.
