ABSTRACT
The conventional supine position for robotic thymectomy may present challenges in accessing the lower thymic horns, particularly in cases requiring extensive resection of mediastinal fat. To address this issue, the authors advocate for a lateral patient position during the procedure, emphasizing optimized access to the thymic horns and improved procedural efficacy. The lateral approach involves specific trocar placements and port arrangements to minimize conflicts between instruments. This report proposes an innovative approach to robotic thymectomy for patients diagnosed with thymoma or thymic hyperplasia associated with myasthenia gravis.
