Default thymectomy procedure
Good morning!

My procedure was trans sternal as my surgeon did not like the limited accessibility of the other procedures. My pre-surgery CT scan showed an enlarged thymus, my surgery discovered a very enlarged thymus. After 3 years of reading of or hearing about thymectomies, I know without a doubt that I would opt for the trans sternal method again. Yes, it hurt, but the painkillers did their job. I have been symptom and medication free since 2 weeks after surgery.
