Abstract
In patients with MG, robot-assisted thymectomy can be performed safely and efficiently. The improved visualization and dexterity of this instrument and its advanced technology may facilitate the minimally invasive approach to the thymus. We prefer to use the left-sided approach because it provides an enhanced visualization of the aortic window and it reduces the probability of phrenic nerves injury. A longer follow-up is necessary to verify long-term clinical results.
