Role of VATS in Thymectomy for Non-Thymomatous Myasthenia Gravis
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2018 Abstract Background There are different surgical techniques used for thymectomy. Each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, using a less invasive approach would provide a better outcome. Methods From June 2015 to February 2017, a prospective study included a total number of 50 patients of non-thymomatous myasthenia gravis (

Transcervical-subxiphoid-VATS "maximal" thymectomy for myasthenia gravis
Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2005A maximally extended thymectomy is performed through four incisions: a transverse 5-8 cm incision in the neck, a 4-6 cm subxiphoid incision and two 1 cm incisions for videothoracoscopic ports. The cervical part of the procedure is performed with an open technique, the intrathoracic part of the procedure is performed with the videothoracoscopy assisted (

Thymectomy is relatively indicated and most frequently performed in patients with the autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis. In particular, the indication for thymectomy, as well as the long-term improvement of myasthenia gravis, may depend on patient-derived factors such as gender, age, the severity of myasthenia, the duration of symptoms, the interval

VATS thymectomy in left atrial isomerism
BMJ Case ReportsThymectomy is performed for the treatment of myasthenia gravis (MG) and the removal of thymic lesions. Minimally invasive techniques such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) have now become a standard of care for thymectomies. We present the case of a woman in her early 50s with non-thymomatous MG and left atrial isomerism.

Video Assisted Thoracoscopic (VATS) Thymectomy-a Better Alternative
Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2005With the introduction of video imaging technique in late 1980s the field of thoracoscopy was expanded into video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in 1990. VATS has several unique advantages like reducing repiratory complications, hospital stay and post operative pain due to avoidance of thoracotomy/sternotomy.

Postoperative Pain After Robotic Versus VATS Thymectomy: A Comparative Cohort Study
Journal of Robotic SurgeryRobotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) is an alternative to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for thymectomy, but detailed comparisons of postoperative pain, a critical patient-centered outcome, are limited. This study aimed to compare longitudinal pain trajectories and recovery outcomes between RATS and VATS thymectomy.This ...
