description Minimally invasive video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) thymectomy has evolved significantly over the last decade. The most common indication for VATS thymectomy is the treatment of myasthenia gravis (MG). Video-assisted thoracic surgery thymectomy results in less postoperative pain, better preserved pulmonary function, and improved cosmesis, which can be particularly important to many young female MG patients. Results of VATS thymectomy, in terms of complete stable remission from MG and symptomatic improvement, as well as safety, are comparable with conventional surgical techniques. This more patient-friendly approach would lead to wider acceptance by MG patients and their neurologists for earlier thymectomies and improved outcomes.
