Treating Myasthenia Gravis

Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue. At Neumark Surgery, we understand the challenges faced by individuals with this condition and offer a comprehensive approach to ensure their well-being. One of the effective treatment options we provide is the removal of the thymus gland.

The Role of the Thymus Gland

The thymus gland plays a crucial role in the development of the immune system, particularly during childhood. However, in some cases, it can become hyperactive and contribute to the development or exacerbation of myasthenia gravis. Surgical removal of the thymus gland has shown promising results in improving symptoms and achieving long-term remission in many patients.

At Neumark Surgery, we take pride in our modern and well-equipped medical centers. Our facilities are designed to provide a comfortable and safe environment for our patients throughout their treatment journey. We utilize the latest advancements in medical technology to ensure accurate diagnoses and optimal surgical outcomes.

The Procedure

The removal of the thymus gland for myasthenia gravis, also known as thymectomy, is a surgical procedure carried out by our experienced team of surgeons. Thymectomy can be performed through various approaches, including open surgery or minimally invasive techniques such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or robotic-assisted surgery.

Benefits of Thymectomy

Thymectomy offers several benefits for individuals with myasthenia gravis:

  • Improved muscle strength and reduction in weakness
  • Decreased dependence on medication
  • Potential for long-term remission
  • Enhanced quality of life
