Myasthenia gravies is a common disease in the clinic. Extended thymectomy is an important way to treat myasthenia gravis. Median thoracotomy, thoracoscopy, and robots are important surgical methods. Da Vinci robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is more and more widely used in extended thymectomy, with high surgical safety and good stability. The surgical approach includes intercostal approach, subxiphoid approach, etc. Different surgical approaches have their own advantages, and their surgical effects are different. This article introduces the indications, technical steps, and effects of da Vinci robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, analyzes the advantages and limitations of treating myasthenia gravis, and looks forward to its development prospects.
