Catastrophes during video-assisted thoracoscopic thymus surgery for myasthenia gravis

, 2016
OBJECTIVES: Several series have demonstrated that video-assisted thoracoscopic (VAT) thymectomy is feasible and safe. However, VAT thymectomy is an operation that could invite catastrophes, such as major vascular injuries.

Perioperative Outcomes and Long-term Survival in Clinically Early-stage Thymic 
Malignancies: Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Thymectomy versus Open Approaches

Chinese Journal of Lung Cancer, 2016
Background and objective Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) theoretically offers advantages over open thymectomy for clinically early-stage (Masaoka-Koga stage I and II) thymic malignancies. However, longterm outcomes have not been well studied.

Bilateral video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy has a surgical extent similar to that of transsternal extended thymectomy with more favorable early surgical outcomes for myasthenia gravis patients

, 2011
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to introduce the authors' surgical technique of bilateral video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy (BVT) and to compare their early surgical results between BVT and transsternal extended thymectomy (T3-b thymectomy) for ...

Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Medicine
Introduction: Thymectomy is a crucial aspect of managing myasthenia gravis (MG). Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) offers a less invasive option compared to traditional open transsternal thymectomy.
