Objective: The purpose of the study was to investigate the clinical effect of high-dose glucocorticoids (GCS) combined with immunosuppressants on the treatment of myasthenia gravis (MG) with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).
Methods: A total of 106 MG patients admitted to the neurology department of our hospital from February 2016 to February 2020 were selected as the study subjects and divided into experimental group ( = 53) and control group ( = 53). The patients in the control group underwent VATS, while the patients in the experimental group were treated with high-dose GCS combined with immunosuppressants on the basis of VATS treatment.
