ABSTRACT
To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 42 patients at our department with bulbar myasthenia gravis.They underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic extended thymectomy (VATET) from May 2003 to August 2010.Another 42 patients treated with medications alone were selected as controls.Compared with the control group (4.32 ± 0.23),postoperative dysphagia scores improved significantly in patients undergoing VATET(9.21 ±0.41).And so did the dysphagia assessment classification (P <0.05).Thus VATET could effectively and definitely relieve dysphagia in patients with bulbar myasthenia gravis.
