We report a case of anterior bronchogenic mediastinal cyst (ABMC) in old age patient underwent Robotic Thoracic Surgery (da Vinci Surgical System). Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) represents the routine approach in posterior bronchogenic mediastinal cyst, but some limitation for resection of mediastinal mass located in the anterior mediastinum has been reported. The introduction of da Vinci surgical system has overcome the surgical limits of VATS as two dimensional vision (2D) and the use of long rigid instruments with poor maneuverability in case of fine dissection.
我们报告了一例老年患者的前纵隔支气管源性囊肿(ABMC),该患者接受了机器人辅助胸外科手术(达芬奇手术系统)。电视辅助胸腔镜手术(VATS)是后纵隔支气管源性囊肿的常规手术方法,但已有报道称其在切除位于前纵隔的纵隔肿物时存在一些局限性。达芬奇手术系统的引入克服了VATS的手术局限性,如二维视野(2D)以及在精细解剖时使用长而刚性的器械且操作性较差的问题。
