Bronchogenic mediastinal cysts are congenital lesions originating from the primitive ventral foregut that are often located in the middle or posterior mediastinum. Surgical resection of bronchogenic cysts is the recommended treatment of choice and is both a diagnostic and therapeutic measure. In this paper, we report a case of mediastinal bronchogenic cyst that was operated on at our institute using the Da Vinci Xi robotic system as well as a literature review about this disease. Reviewing the literature about the robotic resection of these lesions shows that it is considered a safe technique with advantages for patients.
