Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) for posterior mediastinal neurogenic tumors is safe, effective, feasible and bring the superiority of robotic surgical system into full play suggests a recent study published in the BMC Surgery.
Results
All 39 patients successfully underwent the resection of posterior mediastinal neurogenic tumors under RATS, and no conversion to thoracotomy occurred during the operations.
The average operative time was (62.1 ± 17.2) min, the average docking time was (10.1 ± 2.5) min, the average intraoperative bleeding was (32.8 ± 19.5) ml, the average 24-h postoperative chest drainage was (67.4 ± 27.9) ml, the average postoperative chest drainage time was (2.2 ± 1.3) days and the average post-operative hospital stay was (3.2 ± 1.3) days.
Postoperative complications occurred in 3 patients, including 2 patients with transient Horner's syndrome after surgery and 1 patient with transient anhidrosis of the affected upper limb after surgery.
RATS for posterior mediastinal neurogenic tumors is safe, effective, feasible and bring the superiority of robotic surgical system into full play.
