Endoscopic Thymectomy
Endoscopic thymectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the thymus gland using a small camera and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions. This approach allows surgeons to access and remove the thymus without major chest opening, reducing pain and recovery time. It is commonly performed to treat conditions like myasthenia gravis or thymomas (tumors). The procedure provides a clear view of the chest cavity, ensuring precise removal while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues. Overall, endoscopic thymectomy offers a safer, less invasive option with quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
