Uniportal Video-Assisted Transcervical Thymectomy.

 
 

Abstract


Surgery has proven superiority over medical management for patients with nonthymomatous myasthenia gravis. The key is complete resection of the gland, which can be achieved with various techniques. The uniportal video-assisted transcervical technique allows minimally invasive surgery with a low complication rate, a good cosmetic result, and a short length of recovery.
