Popis: Background: Thymomas are the most common neoplasm in the anterior mediastinum. Surgical resection of thymomas remains the only curative treatment depending on the stage of the disease. Conventional resection has been performed through open surgery. However, minimal invasive and robotic assisted surgery are preferred if possible. Methods: In a single center study three different surgical techniques were compared respectively, video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) and open resection. In a period from 2006 to 2019 80 patients were included in the study and data were collected by retrospectively reviewing patient records. Results: VATS and RATS had a significantly (P
