Overview
The mainstay of surgical treatment of MG is thymectomy. Thymectomy means removing as much thymic tissue as possible. This treatment is done for patients with thymoma and even in patients without thymoma and who have generalized MG with AChR antibodies.
Indications
- This treatment is done for patients with thymoma and even in patients without thymoma and who have generalized MG with AChR antibodies.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Surgery
- The mainstay of surgical treatment of MG is thymectomy. Thymectomy means removing as much thymic tissue as possible.[7]
