- W2055918626 abstract "The role of thymectomy for the treatment of myasthenia gravis has evolved since the initial descriptions by Sauerbruch in 1913 and Blalock and colleagues in 1939. Currently, thymectomy is the treatment of choice for patients with stable myasthenia gravis or thymomas. There is considerable debate with regard to the approach and extent of thymectomy, especially for patients with myasthenia gravis without thymoma. Some authors have advocated minimally invasive approaches to total thymectomy, including transcervical, thoracoscopic, and modified sternotomy techniques. Unfortunately, these techniques may not fully remove all thymic tissue, which has been reported by Jaretzki and colleagues to be frequently distributed throughout the anterior (including superior) mediastinum. Consequently, Jaretzki has been a consistent proponent of “maximal thymectomy,” resecting all thymic tissue through a transsternal approach. We agree with Jaretzki’s approach to the surgical treatment of myasthenia gravis and thymoma, and since 1986, we have used a modified transsternal technique for the treatment of these patients. The purpose of this article is to describe this technical approach, which we term “anterior-superior cervicomediastinal exenteration,” for the treatment of myasthenia gravis or thymoma." @default.
