Thoracoscopic Dorsal Sympathectomy for Upper Limb Buerger's Disease
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Thromboangiitis obliterans is a common peripheral vascular disease in India. This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of thoracoscopic dorsal sympathectomy as a treatment for Buerger disease of the upper extremities. METHODS Thirty thoracoscopic dorsal sympathectomies (17 left- and 13 right-sided) were performed in a tertiary medical center in 5 women and 20 m...
متن کاملUpper dorsal endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy: a comparison of one- and two-port ablation techniques.
OBJECTIVE Facial blushing and hyperhidrosis, particularly in the facial, axillary or palmar distribution, are socially, professionally, and psychologically debilitating conditions. Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy can be carried out through multiple ports or by using a single port and a modified thoracoscope with integrated electrocautery. We reviewed our own experience to compare outcomes bet...
متن کامل[The physiologic evaluation of patients before and after mitral commissurotomy].
Cardiac catheterization is a technique which readily lends itself to the analysis of hemodynamic alterations in the cardio-pulmonary circuit caused by mitral stenosis. The purpose of this report is the evaluation of 50 patients with mitral stenosis by means of this technique, attempting thereby to determine optimal indications for mitral commissurotomy. Of the 50 patients studied, 27 subsequent...
متن کاملResults of Sympathectomy in the Upper Limb
THE sympathetic nerves have two main functions in the extremities. These are the control of the sweat glands and the regulation of blood-vessel calibre. Sympathetic nerve fibres reach the hand by passing down through the arm and forearm in the main somatic nerve trunks. At intervals along the course of these nerve trunks fibres are given off to supply the sweat glands of the region and the neig...
متن کاملSimultaneous determination of temperatures of skin and muscle before and after lumbar sympathectomy.
A CONTROVERSY has existed for many f years as to whether sympathetic denervation of the lower extremities increases the circulation in the skin by shunting the flow of blood from the muscle to the skin. This action was suggested by Biermant in 1941 after studies of the temperature of muscles in the lower extremities after lumbar synmpathectomy. Under these circumstances one might postulate that...
