Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is a prospective, multicenter, phase II randomized controlled trial. We plan to screen 100 eligible thymoma patients for robotic-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy (RATT) or video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy (VATT) at three medical centers in China. The trial was aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes between the two approaches.
