VATS effectively removed a mediastinal mature teratoma in a newborn with no complications.
The mass, originating from the thymus, was successfully resected measuring 7.0 × 3.5 × 2.0 cm after prenatal diagnoses.
An observational analysis of this rare case highlights the advantages of minimally invasive techniques for pediatric surgery.
Future applications of VATS in similar cases may improve outcomes while minimizing surgical trauma.
