Video-assisted thoracic surgery thymectomy – the best surgical method of treatment in myasthenia gravis From 85 patients with non-tumoral myasthenia gravis 14 patients underwent operation during the first 6 months after the onset of the disease. At 3 years postoperative period estimated rate of complete stable remission was 45.1 % in patients with early intervention versus 21.2% in other patients (p<0.05). The probability to obtain clinical remission is higher as well in patients with early intervention: 64 % versus 30.4 % at 3 follow-up period (p<0.05).
