Abstract:

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted (RATS) and video-assisted thoracoscopic (VTS) minimally invasive surgeries for anterior mediastinal neoplasms.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The study involved 74 patients who underwent surgeries for anterior mediastinal neoplasms between 2020 and 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: group 1 (RATS, 33 patients) and group 2 (VTS, 41 patients). The following parameters were evaluated: surgery time, incidence of postoperative complications, pain syndrome and recovery time.

RESULTS

Duration of RATS was significantly shorter (mean 120 min) compared to VTS (140 min) (p< 0.05). Postoperative pain was also lower in the RATS group (4.5 vs. 6.0 points) (p< 0.05). The incidence of complications was lower in the same group that contributed to earlier recovery.

CONCLUSION

Robot-assisted surgeries are preferable for anterior mediastinal tumors. The advantages of RATS include shorter surgery time, lower pain and complication rate. Thus, this approach is more advisable in high-risk patients.
