The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2014
Thymectomy is a well-established indication for management of myasthenia gravis and it represents the most effective treatment for thymic tumors. The traditional surgical approach is median sternotomy. More recently, different less-invasive surgical approaches for thymectomy have been proposed as an alternative to open surgery.

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.

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.

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.

Thymectomy may not be associated with clinical improvement in MuSK myasthenia gravis
Muscle and Nerve, 2019Introduction: A randomized trial demonstrated benefit from thymectomy in nonthymomatous acetylcholine receptor (AChR)‐antibody positive myasthenia gravis (MG). Uncontrolled observational and histologic studies suggest thymectomy may not be efficacious in

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.

Transcervical thymectomy is appropriate for managing carefully selected patients with myasthenia gravis due to its noninvasive nature, good cosmetic results, and favorable long-term outcomes. Contraindications to its use include the presence of a thymoma and advanced age. In optimally prepared patients, the operative complication rate is negligible and

Robotic-Assisted Thymectomy [PDF]
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 ...
