Experiences with 13 thymectomies for myasthenia gravis between 1966-1973 are reported. Incomplete median sternotomy was preferred. Myasthenic or cholinergic respiratory failure was a major complication after surgery. Daily measurements of VC were useful indicators to dedect beginning failures. Results depend on duration of the disease and histological type of lesion. Recommendation of thymectomy at an early stage of the disease is justified.
报告了1966年至1973年间13例重症肌无力胸腺切除术的经验。首选不完全胸骨正中切开术。肌无力或胆碱能性呼吸衰竭是术后的主要并发症。每日测量肺活量是检测早期衰竭的有用指标。结果取决于疾病持续时间和病变的组织学类型。在疾病早期推荐胸腺切除术是合理的。
