Implication

Surgical technique report demonstrates a right thoracic radical thymectomy using the Hugo RAS system, highlighting port placement and setup for thymic masses.

Key Points

To describe a standardized, step-by-step surgical technique for right thoracic robotic radical thymectomy using the modular Hugo RAS platform.
Detailing the operating room configuration, patient positioning, and specific robotic port placements for a right-sided transthoracic approach.
Outlining surgical steps to ensure complete oncological clearance of mediastinal fat and thymic tissue between the bilateral phrenic nerves.
Establishes a reproducible modular robotic workflow for radical thymectomy to minimize morbidity associated with open median sternotomy.
Demonstrates effective visualization and dissection extending across the anterior mediastinum from the ipsilateral to the contralateral phrenic nerve.
