Abstract
Ectopic parathyroid tissue in the mediastinum represents a rare and potentially serious clinical entity with challenging diagnostic and surgical management. The main surgical approach for this issue is open thoracotomy, which is a safe technique but carries risks and complications associated with such as extensive surgery. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate robotic thoracic surgery as an alternative and potentially advantageous method to treat patients with ectopic parathyroid adenomas compared with open and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery approaches. A total of 13 reports in the literature were identified that provided details in terms of complications, surgical approach, and results of minimally invasive surgical resection of mediastinal ectopic parathyroid tissue.
