Comparative study for surgical management of thymectomy for non-thymomatous myasthenia gravis from the French national database EPITHOR [THORACIC]

CONCLUSIONS
In our study, we were unable to prove the superiority of minimally invasive techniques due to the important differences between the groups. However, this study shows us major changes in French surgical procedures during the last decade with an increase in minimally invasive procedures such as VATS and RATS.
