Robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for esophageal duplication cyst in a child: a rare case report and literature insight
To the best of our knowledge, the present case represents a unique and extremely rare report of EDC management via the Da Vinci robotic surgical system for a pediatric patient in China. The successful application demonstrates the safety and feasibility of RATS for pediatric EDC, expanding the evidence base for this minimally invasive approach.
