Biportal robotic surgery for anterior mediastinal mass.

The biportal approach for robot-assisted surgery in anterior mediastinal masses is a feasible and safe alternative for treating associated pathologies. The subxiphoid approach for mediastinal surgery provides a better surgical view than the transthoracic approach. The biportal approach also enables the use of robotic staplers and energy devices and minimizes instrumental interference compared to that in the single-port approach.
