Thymectomy is an established therapy for myasthenia gravis. Minimally invasive surgery for thymectomy has been reported, but not clearly shown to be equivalent to open resection. Robotic-assisted thymectomy may provide the benefit of a full resection of thymic tissue and anterior mediastinal tissue for the treatment of myasthenia gravis by a minimally invasive approach. We present a review of the experience of robotic thymectomy.
胸腺切除术是治疗重症肌无力的一种既定疗法。已有关于微创胸腺切除术的报道，但尚未明确表明其等同于开放性切除术。机器人辅助胸腺切除术可能通过微创方法为重症肌无力的治疗提供完整切除胸腺组织和前纵隔组织的益处。我们对机器人胸腺切除术的经验进行了综述。
