Thymectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the thymus gland, which is a tissue located under the breast bone (sternum), between your lungs and in front of the heart. The thymus gland produces immunity for our bodies until puberty. After puberty, the thymus slowly shrinks and becomes replaced by fat.
Neumark surgeons perform thymectomies via minimally invasive surgery, either via robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) or video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). The surgeon will identify the Thymus gland and perform a complete resection of the gland.
