The systemic immune response to laparoscopic surgery may be different than responses to standard operations. Laparoscopy may be associated with immune activation as opposed to immunosuppression.

This paper demonstrates the feasibility and safety of thoracoscopic thymectomy performed for myasthenia gravis. Early results are good. However, it must be understood that this is a procedure only for accomplished VATS surgeons.
