Unilateral Extended Thoracoscopic Thymectomy for Nontumoral Myasthenia Gravis—A New Standard
چکیده انگلیسی

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a heterogeneous disorder with a fluctuating, clinical, pathologic, and immunobiological picture. Today, it is believed that effective treatment of MG must include both immunosuppression and surgery. Thymectomy is recommended by neurologists for patients with nontumoral MG as an option to increase the probability of remission or improvement. Currently, thoracoscopic thymectomy is considered a good alternative to the standard open approach because of its higher rate of acceptance, low morbidity, and high efficacy, as measured by complete stable remission rates. We present a review of the experience of unilateral extended thoracoscopic thymectomy for nontumoral MG, a technique that could became a new standard in the complex management of MG treatment.
