Comparison between robot- and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries for anterior mediastinal lesions
Using the lateral thoracic approach, RATS offered shorter catheter retention, shorter postoperative stays and fewer complications. However, with the subxiphoid approach, RATS led to higher drainage volume and longer catheter retention. Our study indicates that surgical approach impacts outcomes, with RATS being more beneficial for lateral thoracic cases and VATS for subxiphoid cases.
