NCT ID: NCT05262582 Recruiting - Thymoma Clinical Trials

Comparison of Single Port and Two Ports Robotic Assisted Thoracic Surgery for Thymectomy

RATS
Start date: May 10, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Recently, robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) has become into as an alternative approach to either, open surgery or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The superiorities of RATS have been reported in series studies, such as intuitive movements, tremor filtration, more degrees of manipulative freedom, motion scaling, and high-definition stereoscopic vision. However, the currently reported robotic thymectomy used 3 ports. Theoretically, less incisions may bring faster postoperative recovery, lighter postoperative pain and higher postoperative quality of life. The investigators have successfully performed robotic thymectomy through 2 ports and even 1 port. However, the potential benefit of less ports robotic thymectomy has not been verified through well-designed cohort study, so this clinical trial has been designed.

Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Thymectomy Versus Subxiphoid Procedure

Start date: January 7, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Surgerys used in thymectomy for myasthenia gravis and anterior mediastinal tumours have become much less invasive in recent years. In our study, the surgical technique which resected the thymus below the xiphoid process and the technique which was regarded as conventional video- assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) thymectomy was compared.

The Safety and Efficacy of "3-Hole" Subxiphorid Approach in the Treatment of Anterior Mediastinal Tumor

3-Hole
Start date: August 2014
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Surgery plays an important role in the treatment of anterior mediastinum disease. The major surgical approaches include: cervical approach, mid-sternal approach, cervical combined mid-sternal approach and video-assisted thoracoscopic approach. The cervical approach is rarely adopted because of its restricted visual field. The cervical combined mid-sternal approach have a broader field of vision, given this advantage, the surgeon can remove the thymus and its surrounding fat tissue more thoroughly. But the trauma of this approach is much larger, and the postoperative complication is also a serious problem. The video-assisted thoracoscope is often adopted by left or right approach, this minimally invasive procedure can not remove anterior mediastinum fat thoroughly. In clinical practice, the investigators designed a new method named "3-Hole" subxiphoid approach. This study is designed to compare the safety and validity between this new method and others.
