Thoracoscopic thymectomy for juvenile myasthenia gravis
Indian Pediatr.
2002 Dec.
Abstract
Thoracoscopic thymectomy is feasible in adolescents with myasthenia gravis. It allows complete resection of the gland with less morbidity, shorter ICU and hospital stay and far superior cosmetic result as compared to trans-sternal thymectomy. Our experience with this procedure in 9 adolescents with myasthenia gravis is presented along with review of the relevant literature.
