What are the effects of surgery for thymus enlargement



The effects of thymic hyperplasia surgery on the body are not common, and may include postoperative bleeding, immunocompromise, or myasthenia gravis crisis.

Thymic hyperplasia can easily cause tracheal or esophageal compression, causing patients to cough, chest tightness or difficulty in eating, and some patients may also experience myasthenia gravis, etc. Generally, the above symptoms will be significantly reduced through surgical removal of the hyperplasia, and the general impact of surgery on the body is relatively small.

However, for some patients with large scope of surgical resection, due to surgical damage to blood vessels, nerves and other tissues, as well as traumatic injury to the body and other reasons, may lead to postoperative bleeding, or immune deficiency sequelae, and some appear to be in critical condition of myasthenia gravis, and need to be given a ventilator-assisted respiratory treatment measures.
