Abstract:
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. This article discusses the main technical aspects and results of literature.
