Nevertheless, its application in thoracic surgery is relatively rare. In this study, we report our initial experiences with the da Vinci single-port system via a subxiphoid approach in patients with an anterior mediastinal mass.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We retrospectively reviewed patients with an anterior mediastinal mass who underwent surgery using the da Vinci single-port system via a subxiphoid approach between October 2020 and April 2024. Clinicopathological, intraoperative, and postoperative data were retrospectively collected.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 14 patients were included in this study. The median age was 55\u2009years (interquartile range 48\u201362\u2009years), with 4 (28.6%) patients being male. All patients underwent complete resection without conversion to multiport or open surgery. The median operation time was 135\u2009min (interquartile range 113\u2013155\u2009min). Nine (64.3%) patients were diagnosed with thymoma, and 2 (14.3%) patients had myasthenia gravis. The median pathologic size of the mass was 32.5\u2009mm (interquartile range 25.3\u201338.0\u2009mm), and the median peak Numerical Rating Scale score was 3 (interquartile range 2\u20134). The median duration of chest drainage and hospital stay were 2 (interquartile range 1\u20133) and 3 (interquartile range 2\u20133) days, respectively. No complications were reported following surgery.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The da Vinci single-port system for anterior mediastinal mass was deemed safe and feasible.
