Published: September 2024

The utilization of a radical robotic thymectomy, with clearance of the mediastinal tissue between the two phrenic nerves for a thymoma, is well established. The complex mediastinal anatomy, limited space and the location of the heart introduce a distinctive challenge, particularly when adopting a right-sided approach to identify and dissect along the left phrenic nerve. We present our technique for performing a robotic radical thymectomy from a right-sided approach, tailored for a localized thymoma. Our goal is to showcase the efficacy and safety of this method, offering insights that can enhance surgical outcomes.
