Thymectomy may be considered for patients with thymic tumors or, ina few cases, as part of the management of myasthenia gravis. During the procedure, the thymus gland is surgically removed, with the extent of surgery depending on the underlying condition and whether surrounding tissues are involved. Doctors generally perform CT or other imaging studies before surgery to assess the thymus and plan the procedure. Recovery may include pain management, respiratory care, and gradual return to normal activity.
