    Ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenomas can cause persistent primary hyperparathyroidism and pose surgical challenges.

  • 2

    The case series reports successful robotic single-port subxiphoid resections in two patients with anterior mediastinal parathyroid adenomas.

  • 3

    Both surgeries were completed without complications, with mean operative time of 150 minutes and estimated blood loss under 50 mL.

  • 4

    Intraoperative PTH levels decreased by over 80% post-excision, confirming biochemical cure in both patients.

    This study highlights the safety and feasibility of a minimally invasive robotic approach for ectopic parathyroid adenomas.
