Choosing Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital for Thymectomy gives patients access to experienced thoracic surgeons, advanced surgical technology, and comprehensive multidisciplinary care.

Thymectomy may be recommended when a thymic tumor requires surgical removal or for patients with myasthenia gravis. The procedure involves removing the thymus and, when necessary, nearby affected tissue to achieve appropriate treatment of the underlying condition. Surgeons may use conventional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques depending on tumor characteristics and patient factors. Imaging and other preoperative assessments are generally performed to evaluate the thymus and surrounding structures before surgery.
