Comparative analysis of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery vs robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for esophageal leiomyoma enucleation: a multi-institutional propensity score-weighted study.
Overall, RATS demonstrated superior intraoperative stability, as reflected by a significantly lower conversion rate while maintaining postoperative safety comparable to VATS, which supports the feasibility and safety of RATS for the enucleation of esophageal leiomyomas.
