During the myectomy, Dr. Azad will make a small incision in your chest and remove a portion of the thymus gland. The surgery typically takes a few hours, and you will be under general anesthesia. After the surgery, you will need to stay in the hospital for a few days to recover. Dr. Azad and her team will closely monitor your progress and provide any necessary support.
