Technique for Myasthenia Gravis: Subxiphoid Approach.
Copyright policy )Technique for Myasthenia Gravis: Subxiphoid Approach.
Kido and colleagues in 1999 used for the first time the subxiphoid approach. Recently, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) thymectomy has been improved for the advancement of surgical materials and new instruments. The most important aspect regarding the subxiphoid approach is the possibility to avoid the intercostal nerve damage with the consequence of a decreased use of postoperative analgesics, quite short surgical duration, fast discharge from hospital and a guarantee of successful cosmetics results.
