Introduction

With our team of highly skilled doctors and experienced plastic surgeons, we are dedicated to providing exceptional medical care and advanced treatment options for patients suffering from myasthenia gravis.

About Myasthenia Gravis

Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that causes weakness and fatigue in the skeletal muscles. It occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the acetylcholine receptors, which are responsible for transmitting nerve signals to the muscles.

At Neumark Surgery, we understand the challenges faced by individuals with myasthenia gravis and the impact it can have on their daily lives. Our compassionate medical team is dedicated to helping patients regain their strength and improve their quality of life.

Thymus Surgery for Myasthenia Gravis

Thymus surgery is a highly effective treatment option for myasthenia gravis. The thymus gland, located in the upper chest, plays a role in the development of the immune system. In patients with myasthenia gravis, the thymus gland may contain abnormal cells that contribute to the autoimmune response.

At Neumark Surgery, our expert surgeons specialize in thymectomy, the surgical removal of the thymus gland. Thymectomy can lead to significant improvement or even complete remission of myasthenia gravis symptoms in many patients.

The Benefits of Thymectomy

Thymectomy offers several benefits for patients with myasthenia gravis:

• Improved Muscle Strength: Removing the thymus gland eliminates the source of abnormal cells responsible for the autoimmune response, leading to improved muscle strength and reduced weakness.
• Potential Remission: Thymectomy can result in complete remission of myasthenia gravis symptoms, allowing patients to live a normal, healthy life.
• Reduced Medication Dependency: Many patients who undergo thymus surgery experience a significant reduction in the need for medication to manage their myasthenia gravis symptoms.
• Long-Term Benefits: Thymectomy offers long-term benefits, with studies showing sustained improvement in symptoms even years after the surgery.

The Thymectomy Procedure

The thymectomy procedure is performed under general anesthesia by our skilled team of surgeons at Neumark Surgery. The surgery can be done through various approaches, including minimally invasive techniques such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or robotic-assisted surgery.

During thymectomy, the thymus gland is carefully removed to eliminate the abnormal cells that contribute to myasthenia gravis. Our surgeons utilize advanced surgical techniques to ensure precision and reduce the risk of complications.

Recovery and Follow-Up Care

Following thymectomy, patients will be closely monitored by our medical team during the recovery process. Our dedicated staff will provide comprehensive postoperative care instructions to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.

Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor the patient's progress and address any concerns. Our doctors and plastic surgeons at Neumark Surgery are committed to providing ongoing support to our patients throughout their journey to recovery.
