RESUMEN
Mediastinal ectopic parathyroid adenomas, a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism, has evolved significantly with the advent of robotic-assisted surgery. Traditional surgical approaches, while effective, may be associated with considerable morbidity and extended recovery periods. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness, precision, and postoperative outcomes of robotic thoracoscopy with parathyroidectomy in the management of mediastinal ectopic parathyroid adenomas. A case of a 70-year-old man with a history of primary hyperparathyroidism underwent a successful left robotic thoracoscopy with parathyroidectomy in an ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenoma. The robotic approach demonstrated advantages such as enhanced precision and minimal invasiveness. However, the learning curve and cost implications of this technology were identified as considerations. Robotic thoracoscopy with parathyroidectomy underscores the potential of robotic surgery in revolutionizing the management of mediastinal ectopic parathyroid adenomas, offering promising precision, emphasizing the need for ongoing research, and evaluation to optimize this innovative surgical method.
