Transcervical thymectomy for myasthenia gravis achieves results comparable to thymectomy by sternotomy Joseph B Shrager, MD, Maher E Deeb, MD, Rosemarie Mick, MS, Clay J Brinster, BS, Henry E Childers, MD, M.Blair Marshall, MD, John C Kucharczuk, MD, Steven L Galetta, MD, Shawn J Bird, MD, Larry R Kaiser, MD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 74, Issue 2, Pages 320-327 (August 2002) DOI: 10.1016/S0003-4975(02)03722-0

Fig 1 Kaplan-Meier curve for time to complete remission (CR) for all 78 patients. (MG = myasthenia gravis.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2002 74, 320-327DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(02)03722-0)

Fig 2 Kaplan-Meier curves for time to complete remission (CR) according to severity of preoperative disease. There is a trend that does not reach statistical significance (p = 0.21) suggesting higher remission rates in earlier stage disease (n = 12, ocular; n = 55, mild/moderate generalized; n = 11, severe generalized). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2002 74, 320-327DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(02)03722-0)

Fig 3 Kaplan-Meier curves showing significant difference (p = 0.01) in complete remission (CR) rates according to thymic histology, with the patients with small thymomas having the best response (n = 8, thymoma; n = 38, hyperplasia; n = 32, no hyperplasia). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2002 74, 320-327DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(02)03722-0)
