  • Title: Robotic-assisted resection of a thymoma after two previous sternotomies.
    Author: Sivarajah M, Weksler B.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2010 Aug; 90(2):668-70. PubMed ID: 20667382.
    Abstract:
    Robotic-assisted surgery has emerged as a new strategy for resection of thymomas. It may provide an option for patients who have had prior thoracic procedures, reducing the risks involved with another open procedure. We present a patient with a thymoma occurring after two prior sternotomies for cardiac procedures. A robotic-assisted thymectomy was performed successfully, with no complications. The minimally invasive approach of robotic-assisted resection of thymomas provides a safe alternative to redo sternotomy.
