BACKGROUND: The optimal surgical approach for complete removal of the thymus gland has long been debated. In this report, the excision of the entire gland through a transcervical incision using video-assisted techniques is described.
METHODS: Ten patients, including one with thymoma and myasthenia gravis, underwent surgery via the transcervical approach. After standard dissection up to the level of the innominate vein and ligation of the thymic vessels, a laparoscope was inserted into the mediastinum. In the patient with thymoma, the operation was completed by a small incision in the third intercostal space.
RESULTS: No perioperative mortality or long-term morbitity was observed. The mean hospital stay was 69.6 h. After a mean follow-up period of 63.8 months, eight patients displayed complete remission, whereas one continued to receive minimal medication. The patient with thymoma showed considerable improvement, but remained on same medical regimen No complications were seen throughout the study.
CONCLUSION: Video-assisted thymectomy improves effectiveness of the transcervical approach for thymectomy with a minimum of trauma and excellent results.
