Meta-analysis of subxiphoid approach versus lateral approach for thoracoscopic Thymectomy

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020
Background Compared with traditional open surgery for thymectomy, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) reduces hospital stay, decreases postoperative pain, and recovers faster. VATS has become increasingly popular in the past decade.

Unraveling the role of ectopic thymic tissue in patients undergoing thymectomy for myasthenia gravis [PDF]

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2019
Extended thymectomy has been considered the goal of surgery for myasthenia gravis (MG) mainly due to the existence of ectopic thymic tissue. Recently, ectopic thymic tissue has attracted increasing attention in patients with MG following thymectomy ...

Ectopic germinal centers in the thymus accurately predict prognosis of myasthenia gravis after thymectomy

Modern Pathology, 2022
The ability of thymic histopathology to predict the long-term impact of thymectomy in non-thymomatous myasthenia gravis (NTMG) is mainly uncharted. We applied digital pathology to quantitatively characterize differences of thymic histology between early ...

Minimally invasive thymectomy for myasthenia gravis favours left-sided approach and low severity class.

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2021
OBJECTIVES Complete thymectomy is a key component of the optimal treatment for myasthenia gravis. Unilateral, minimally invasive approaches are increasingly utilized with debate about the optimal laterality approach.

Impact of the Surgical Approach to Thymectomy Upon Complete Stable Remission Rates in Myasthenia Gravis

Neurology, 2021
Objectives To determine whether the available operative techniques for thymectomy in myasthenia gravis (MG) confer variable chances for achieving complete stable remission (CSR), we performed a meta-analysis of comparative studies of surgical approaches ...

Predictive Value of Perioperative Blood Lactic Acid Levels for Postoperative Crisis in Myasthenia Gravis Patients Undergoing Thymectomy. [PDF]

Muscle Nerve
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Postoperative myasthenic crisis (POMC), which occurs specifically after thymectomy in myasthenia gravis (MG) patients, is a serious complication with known risk factors such as prior myasthenic crisis. However, the predictive value of perioperative blood lactic acid levels (BLAL) for POMC remains unclear.
