I had the VATS Thymectomy, I got 5 small incisions and 1 a little larger where the thymus came out of and where my chest tube was. They originally wanted to split my sternum but I pushed for the VATS since I have two small kids we couldn't afford for me to be down for so long.
Good luck it's a very big decision.
