Description
We have succeeded in eliminating the possibilities of remnants, pneumothorax and hemorrhage during thymectomy by uging a head mirror for lighting, and in the adult mice, by detaching the gland with a swab before applying suction. Using superfine silk to close the wound in newborn mice also eliminates cannibalism.
