Three hundred ninety patients who underwent thymectomy for myasthenia gravis (MG) were followed up to investigate the development of associated malignancies. There were 102 patients with thymoma and 288 without thymoma. Malignant neoplasms were detected in ten patients, four of whom already had the tumor at the time MG was diagnosed.

Extended Transsternal Thymectomy
Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2010The two primary indications for thymectomy are the treatments of patients with thymoma and patients with myasthenia gravis. Several different methods have been described to remove the thymus gland, including transcervical-transsternal "maximal" thymectomy, extended transsternal thymectomy, classic transsternal thymectomy, (extended) transcervical ...

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2008
Thymectomy is an established therapy for myasthenia gravis. Minimally invasive surgery for thymectomy has been reported, but not clearly shown to be equivalent to open resection. Robotic-assisted thymectomy may provide the benefit of a full resection of thymic tissue and anterior mediastinal tissue for the treatment of myasthenia gravis by a minimally ...

EXTENDED TRANSSTERNAL THYMECTOMY
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1996Extended transsternal thymectomy allows for the safe excision of the gross thymus as well as perithymic and anterior mediastinal fat and lymphatic tissue that may harbor foci of aberrant thymus. Additionally, it permits direct inspection of each pulmonary hilum for suspicious thymic remnants and even small thymomas not visualized on the CT scan.

Robot-assisted thymectomy is superior to transsternal thymectomy
Surgical Endoscopy, 2011Complete thymectomy is the procedure of choice in the treatment of thymomas and in treating selected patients with myasthenia gravis. Transsternal thymectomy is the gold standard for most patients. Robot-assisted thymectomy has emerged as an alternative to open transsternal surgery.

Surgical Innovation, 1997
Thymic pathology is conventionally approached through incisions such as thoracotomy, median sternotomy, or more limited access such as cervicotomy and partial sternotomy. Progress in videoendoscopic techniques have allowed the possibility of thoracoscopic treatment of thymic diseases.

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery, 2019
Extended thymectomy reported by Masaoka in 1981 is a standard surgical treatment in patients with myasthenia gravis. Thoracoscopic thymectomy, which could be less invasive, has been widely accepted for an anterior mediastinal lesion in addition to the conventional median sternotomy approach.

Thymectomy for Myasthenia Gravis
Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1976Thymectomy was performed on 31 patients with myasthenia gravis. Four of them had thymoma, 17 hyperplasia and 9 had normal thymic histology on microscopy. Discontinuation of anticholinergic medication together with tracheostomy, artificial ventilation and intensive observation were essential in the postoperative management.

Cirugia pediatrica : organo oficial de la Sociedad Espanola de Cirugia Pediatrica, 2004
The use of videothoracoscopy in thoracic pediatric pathology has been progressively accepted in different diagnostic and therapeutic procedures along last decade. The aim of this work is to analyze our initial experience in thymectomy through this approach.We have used the thoracoscopic approach in the last two cases of thymus pathology with surgical ...
