Abstract:
With the advent of advanced video and laparoscopic techniques, new applications have been found for thoracoscopy's expanding role in thoracic surgery. Described herein are three cases of thoracoscopic sympathectomy for three different indications. The evaluation and surgical technique are described in detail. Thoracoscopic sympathectomy is an excellent alternative to open transthoracic approach.
