The role of thymectomy in thymomatous myasthenia gravis (MG) is unambiguous. However, its role in non-thymomatous MG (NTMG) remains debatable. The evidence till date is not robust. In this short review, we try to see the pros and cons of thymectomy in NTMG and critically appraise the evidence available till date.
胸腺切除术在胸腺瘤型重症肌无力(MG)中的作用是明确的。然而,其在非胸腺瘤型MG(NTMG)中的作用仍存在争议。迄今为止的证据并不充分。在这篇简短的综述中,我们试图探讨NTMG中行胸腺切除术的利弊,并严格评估迄今为止可得的证据。
