Efficacy of the da Vinci robot versus thoracoscopic surgery for patients with mediastinal tumors of different body mass index: a multicenter propensity score-matched study
RATS has technical and short-term efficacy advantages in comparison with VATS, although it has the drawback of high costs associated with the treatment of mediastinal tumors. In the patients with mediastinal tumors of H-BMI, RATS can achieve better short-term outcomes and safety, especially in the reduction of the incidence of postoperative complications.
