Introduction
Thymectomy has previously been reported as a useful
therapeutic option for myasthenia gravis (MG) and is now
regarded as a standard therapy. However, because of its
low incidence (1011 cases per 100,000), perioperative
management in MG patients is largely empirical, and
treatment guidelines based on evidence-based medicine
(EBM) have yet to be established. For perioperative management in MG, treatment guidelines are required as a
benchmark. In Japan, Treatment Guidelines for Myasthenia Gravis were prepared by a Joint Committee of the
Japanese Society for Neuroimmunology and the Japanese

Serological classification
Anti-AChR antibody-positive MG
Anti-AChR antibody-negative MG (seronegative MG)
have yet been reached [20]. At present, therefore, no evidence-based effectiveness has been confirmed.
The American Academy of Neurology conducted a
meta-analysis based on 21 cohort studies in 28 articles on
postoperative course and outcomes after thymectomy,
which classified the MG outcome into complete remission,
asymptomatic status, and improvement [21]. The study has
shown the superiority of surgical treatment to non-surgical
treatment, of which the median relative rates were 2.1 in
complete remission, 1.6 in asymptomatic status, and 1.7 in
improvement. Regardless of differences in selection criteria and outcome assessment in each study, 18 of the 21
cohort studies showed the superiority of surgical treatment
to the non-surgical treatment [21]. Therefore, there is no
clear evidence for the effectiveness of thymectomy, it has
been generally recommended as one option that may lead
to MG remission or improvement for non-thymomatous
MG [21]. The results of the RCT by the NIH are eagerly
anticipated [20].
Adverse effects of thymectomy
The mortality rate associated with thymectomy, even in
cases of inadequately controlled MG symptoms, is B1 %
[22]. Complications associated with thymectomy include
crisis (6 %), infections (11 %), and recurrent laryngeal
nerve/phrenic nerve injury (2 %) [23].
Approach and extent of thymectomy
Effectiveness of thymectomy
The effectiveness of thymectomy in non-thymomatous MG
patients is currently being investigated in a randomized
controlled trial (RCT) by the National Institutes of Health
(NIH) in the United States, that is, thymectomy combined
with prednisone vs. prednisone alone, but no conclusions
123
procedure [19, 25]. Maximal thymectomy, namely, extended thymectomy with the dissection of neck fatty tissue, is
the most extensive procedure [24]. However, it is well
known that maximal thymectomy causes postoperative
complications more frequently than the extended thymectomy. Besides, because no RCTs comparing extended
thymectomy and maximal thymectomy have been conducted, no superiority of the former in terms of the outcome has been shown. Therefore, in Japan, extended
thymectomy is now mainly performed rather than the
maximal thymectomy [19, 25]. Thoracoscopic extended
thymectomy has recently been performed, the results of
which are comparable to those by a median sternotomy
approach [26, 27].
In patients with invasive thymoma, combined resection
of invaded organs is sometimes necessary. In cases of
pleural dissemination, extrapleural pneumonectomy may
also be considered. Such cases need to be evaluated on an
individual basis when planning surgery.
Indications for thymectomy
Currently, the effectiveness of thymectomy based on evidence remains unclear. Data regarding indications thus
remain limited to those based on the results of casecontrol
studies about pathological findings of the thymus and
postoperative course and outcomes.
Thymomatous MG
Thymectomy is performed for the treatment of thymoma.
In unresectable thymomas, medical treatment is indicated.
MG remission and improvement rates in patients with
thymoma have been reported to be similar or slightly worse
than those without [19, 28].
Non-thymomatous MG (anti-AChR antibody-positive)
Non-thymomatous MG with positivity for anti-AChR
antibody in adults is classified by the onset of MG, namely,
early and late types. The borderline between the early and
late onset of MG is usually around 50 years old for the
following reasons: (1) the sex ratio in MG patients reverses
at this age; and (2) this age is just between the two peaks of
early onset and late onset [29, 30]. However, some
researchers have described that the boundary should be at
40 years old based on the thymus pathology, while others
have set it at 60 years old based on HLA and the autoantibody profile [31, 32]. Patients with an onset at older than
65 years old are usually called elderly-onset MG.

the ocular type resolves spontaneously in 1128 % of

Postoperative use
For patients who have been treated by steroids before
surgery, the steroids should be resumed soon after surgery
[60]. The route of administration is usually oral, but steroids can be administered through a nasogastric tube or
intravenously when oral intake is difficult.
Steroid pulse therapy
Steroid pulse therapy, that is, high intravenous doses of
methylprednisolone therapy, is frequently used for patients
with postoperative MG crisis [60]. In general, one course
comprising intravenous infusion of methylprednisolone at
1000 mg/day for 3 days is usually conducted for 13
courses [9092]. Although the long-term effects are
unknown [65], it has been reported that, even after thymectomy without MG crisis, steroid pulse therapy may be
able to reduce the doses of subsequent oral steroids [93]. A
placebo double-blind study demonstrated the efficacy of
steroid pulse therapy, with an efficacy rate of 80 % and a
mean duration of effect of 8 weeks (414 weeks) [91].
However, care should be taken about the initial worsening
of MG symptoms due to steroids [65].
Immunosuppressive drugs
In Japan, tacrolimus and cyclosporine are covered by the
National Health Insurance (NHI) as immunosuppressive
drugs for the treatment of MG. Both drugs are reported to
be effective and are generally used in refractory cases [94
98]. With administration of either drug, care should be
taken about adverse effects, while monitoring their blood
levels.
Tacrolimus
Tacrolimus, a calcineurin inhibitor, at a low dose (3 mg/
day) is reported to be effective in MG. In a retrospective
analysis, with a low dose of 0.1 mg/kg/day, muscle
strength was increased by 23 % at 1 month after treatment,
and anti-AChR antibodies decreased from 33.5 (mean
value) to 7.8 nmol/L [99]. Tacrolimus was developed in
Japan, and is now widely used in this country for the
treatment of MG, along with steroids [95, 99, 100].
The mechanism of action of tacrolimus, in addition to
the suppression of activated T cells, includes increasing
skeletal muscle contraction via the ryanodine receptor
(RyR), and increasing the intracellular concentration of
steroids [101, 102].
While it has been reported that tacrolimus can be used
early after thymectomy [99], its preoperative use has not
been reported, so its effectiveness during the perioperative

Ventilatory support
The respiratory insufficiency associated with MG is caused
by decreased respiratory muscle strength and increased
bulbar symptoms. Because the respiratory insufficiency
with MG sometimes progresses rapidly and cannot be
expected to recover promptly, the need for the use of
mechanical ventilation should be assumed during the perioperative period. When a crisis develops, the edrophonium
test is performed to distinguish between myasthenic and

Analgesia
Pain control is also basically the same as in other types of
thoracic surgery. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs) are not contraindicated, but they sometimes
worsen the MG symptoms [152]. Okumura et al. advised
caution when administering NSAIDs as analgesics, and
recommended acetaminophen or pentazocine instead of
NSAIDs [6062]. Epidural anesthesia is useful for pain
relief without worsening MG symptoms in the perioperative period [6062, 152, 154].
