Our results suggest that robotic surgical treatment of patients with thymoma and concomitant MG is effective in improving the neurological outcomes. Moreover, the oncological results obtained in this series confirm the efficacy of robotic surgery for the treatment of thymic malignancies, with results in line with those of open surgery. However, due to the indolent growth of thymomas, further observations with longer follow-up are necessary.
