Thanks to its advanced technological features, the robotic system allows to achieve a radical thymectomy, as suggested by National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines. Robotic thymectomy when performed by a skilled surgeon is an effective and safe procedure, also in challenging operations, guarantying better post-operative quality of life than the conventional approach.
