Review of our results with thymectomy for myasthenia gravis supports the role of early surgery for this debilitating and often lethal disease. The data presented here confirm the fact that thymectomy has rare complications and low operative mortality. Approximately 80 percent of patients with myasthenia gravis can expect clinical improvement with surgery, which also offers a chance for complete remission.
