This video was shot during a surgery that we were tweeting. The procedure was done laproscopically with a davinci robot. Unfortunately I don't recall the patient's condition.

can't make out what they are saying. i am an mg patient and would like to hear it. also, was this non-invasive or did they open the chest cavity? was it just an enlarged thymus, or was there a tumor? i have had 2 surgeries, the second involved a tumor attached to the phrenic nerve (think first doc missed it). many questions, but interesting video...
