Till recently, open transthoracic approach has been the standard of care for their excision. Thoracoscopic excision of these tumours is being commonly employed because of lesser morbidity and shorter hospital stay. The robotic surgical system offers a potential advantage over conventional thoracoscopy. We herein report our technique and surgical outcomes of excision of posterior mediastinal tumours using the Da Vinci Robotic Surgical System.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We retrospectively reviewed 20 patients who underwent Robotic Portal-Posterior Mediastinal Tumour (RP-PMT) Excision at our centre. The demographic data, clinical presentation, characteristics of the tumour, operative and post-operative variables including, total operative time, blood loss, conversion rate, duration of the chest tube, hospital stay and complications were noted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty patients underwent RP-PMT Excision and were included in the study. The median age was 41.2 years. The most frequent presentation was chest pain. Schwannoma was the most common histopathological diagnosis. There were two conversions. The total operative time was 110 min with an average blood loss of 30 mL. Two patients developed complications. The postoperative hospital stay was 2.4 days. With a median follow-up of 36 months (6\u201348 months), all except patients are recurrence-free, except the patient with malignant nerve sheath tumour who developed local recurrence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study demonstrates the feasibility and safety of robotic surgery for posterior mediastinal neurogenic tumours with good surgical outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jmas.jmas_151_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,15]],"date-time":"2023-05-15T05:00:10Z","timestamp":1684126810000},"page":"136-141","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Robotic excision of posterior mediastinal neurogenic tumours: Technique and surgical outcomes"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Belal Bin","family":"Asaf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, Institute of Chest Surgery, Chest Onco-Surgery and Lung Transplantation, Medanta-The Medicity, Gurugram, Haryana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sukhram","family":"Bishnoi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, Institute of Chest Surgery, Chest Onco-Surgery and Lung Transplantation, Medanta-The Medicity, Gurugram, Haryana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harsh","family":"Vardhanpuri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, Institute of Chest Surgery, Chest Onco-Surgery and Lung Transplantation, Medanta-The Medicity, Gurugram, Haryana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohan Venkatesh","family":"Pulle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, Institute of Chest Surgery, Chest Onco-Surgery and Lung Transplantation, Medanta-The Medicity, Gurugram, Haryana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arvind","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, Institute of Chest Surgery, Chest Onco-Surgery and Lung Transplantation, Medanta-The Medicity, Gurugram, Haryana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"359","DOI":"10.1136\/thx.33.3.359","article-title":"Intrathoracic neural tumours","volume":"33","author":"Davidson","year":"1978","journal-title":"Thorax"},{"key":"R2-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"229","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-4975(10)62059-0","article-title":"Primary cysts and neoplasms of the mediastinum: Recent changes in clinical presentation, methods of diagnosis, management, and results","volume":"44","author":"Davis","year":"1987","journal-title":"Ann Thorac Surg"},{"key":"R3-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9","DOI":"10.1148\/126.1.9","article-title":"Neural tumors of the thorax: Subject review from the AFIP","volume":"126","author":"Reed","year":"1978","journal-title":"Radiology"},{"key":"R4-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"285","DOI":"10.1016\/j.thorsurg.2010.02.006","article-title":"Open approaches to posterior mediastinal tumor in adults","volume":"20","author":"Go","year":"2010","journal-title":"Thorac Surg Clin"},{"key":"R5-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1461","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.109.6.1461","article-title":"A comparative study of thoracoscopic versus open removal of benign neurogenic mediastinal tumors","volume":"109","author":"Bousamra","year":"1996","journal-title":"Chest"},{"key":"R6-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"898","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1998.88.5.0898","article-title":"Thoracoscopic microsurgical excision of a thoracic schwannoma.
