説明

We performed a mediastinoscopic extended thymectomy using a sternum lifting method on a patient with myasthenia gravis without thymoma. We reported this surgical method, focusing on its technique. The papient was a 42-year old female with myasthenia gravis, II B under Osserman classification.<BR>First, the thymic tissue from the inferior pole of the thyroid gland up to the superior mediastinum was detached by a cervical collar incision. Next, after the entire sternum was elevated using a strip of tape inserted in the longitudinal axial direction, the thymes, including the anterior mediastinal fat tissue, was removed under the mediastinoscope.<BR>The surgical procedure was completed in 5 and a half hours, with a 200cc hemorrhage, and the removed thymus weighed 42g. There was hardly any postoperative pain due to the sternum elevation and mediastinal maneuver.<BR>With this technique, an extended thymectomy which is equivalent to a midline sternotomy approach can be accomplished. Moreover, it is a more safely applicable method to pleurodesis cases and pulmonary insufficiency cases with a dysfunctional ventilation lung.
