Comparison of three methods in the surgical treatment of mediastinal roof tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) are new modes for the surgical treatment of mediastinal tumors. The differences in perioperative efficacy and safety among RATS, VATS, and conventional open surgery (COS) are a major concern for surgeons. Most of the previous studies have not paid sufficient attention to mediastinal roof tumors. This study comprehensively analyzed the efficacy and safety of RATS, VATS, and COS for the surgical treatment of mediastinal roof tumors.

Methods

Patients who underwent resection of mediastinal roof tumors at our center from 2013 to 2023 were selected as the study cohort. Their perioperative and postoperative indexes were collected and cases were stratified according to tumor loca
