Robotic-assisted versus video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for thymic epithelial tumours, from the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons Database

In this analysis, after adjusting for thymoma stage, the odds of incomplete surgical resection were higher in patients undergoing video-assisted surgery than robotic. However, there was no difference in overall or disease-free survival. With data maturation and increased follow-up, this would need repeat analysis and perhaps may provide more credence to the concept of a prospective randomized study to compare outcomes in thymic epithelial neoplasia by surgical approach with a standardized pathological work-up.

Abstract

In this analysis, after adjusting for thymoma stage, the odds of incomplete surgical resection were higher in patients undergoing video-assisted surgery than robotic. However, there was no difference in overall or disease-free survival. With data maturation and increased follow-up, this would need repeat analysis and perhaps may provide more credence to the concept of a prospective randomized study to compare outcomes in thymic epithelial neoplasia by surgical approach with a standardized pathological work-up.
