Perioperative management of thymectomy for myasthenia gravis

Objective To summarize the experiences in perioperative management of thymectomy for myasthenia gravis (MG). Methods The preoperative preparation, intraoperative management, and the prevention and management of postoperative myasthenic crisis in 243 patients undergoing thymectomy for MG in our department from 1978 to May 2003 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Pulmonary complications were found in 15 cases (6.2% including pulmonary infection in 6 cases, atelectasis in 5 cases, and acute respiratory distress syndrome in 4 cases), postoperative myasthenia crisis in 44 cases (18.1%), and postoperative death in 3 patients (1.2%). Conclusion Effective perioperative management and prevention and management of postoperative myasthenia crisis may be the key factor in ensuring operative safety and reducing mortality rate.
