Abstract
- BACKGROUND Recently, thymectomy using minimally invasive approaches has been increasing with the development of robotic video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (R-VATS). Although multimodal approach is effective for robot assisted thymectomy, it is necessary to determine the approach (left, right or subxiphoid) associated with the least complications. METHODS An electronic retrieval from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, GreyNet International and The Cochrane Library. The single-arm meta-analysis was performed to compare the rate of complications of right- and left-side approaches by R-VATS. RESULTS A total of 21 studies including 930 patients were identified. The pooled incidence of total complications was 12.2% (confidence interval: 10.0%-14.8%) for all studies. The overall complication rate was 17.3% for the right-side compared with 7.4% for the left side (P
