The first experience of thoracoscopic thymectomy from a unified subxiphoid access [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Thoracoscopic thymectomy performed with using the lateral intercostal access in cases of non-invasive thymic tumors is the commonly used technique. Most frequently, the three-port and the single-port techniques are used. As the experience was

Diagnosis requires biochemical testing of serum (for calcium and parathyroid hormone) and urine (for calcium excretion), as well as wider screening for complications including osteoporosis, renal disease, abdominal symptoms and neuropsychiatric disturbance. In
