摘要：

The role of thymectomy in thymomatous myasthenia gravis (MG) is unambiguous. However, its role in non-thymomatous MG (NTMG) remains debatable. The evidence till date is not robust. In this short review, we try to see the pros and cons of thymectomy in NTMG and critically appraise the evidence available till date.
