UNLABELLED: Thoracic sympathectomy is achieved using the trans-axillary route during the course of a thoracotomy. The indications are Raynaud's phenomenon, digital arteriopathy, and hyperhidrosis. Alongside the surgical approach in theory it is possible to use a thoracoscopic approach for a thoracic sympathectomy, to achieve a physico-chemical destruction, we have studied this possibility using this technique.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thoracoscopy is achieved under local anaesthetic after creating a pneumothorax. The approach is through the 2nd intercostal space in the mid-clavicular line. Anaesthesia of the 2nd sympathetic ganglion is achieved, the ganglion is destroyed by injection of 8 c.c's of Phenol. 15 patients were treated (15 to 7). The presented with palmar hyperhidrosis (7), digital arteriopathy (6) or Raynaud's syndrome (2).
RESULTS: The first 5 patients were failures which led to a more precise technique. Overall we observed 8 favourable results. If we exclude the first 5 cases we achieved 8 favourable results and 2 failures. The approach to the 2nd sympathetic ganglion using the thoracoscope is not always possible: the vision may be obscured. When it is possible phenolization may yield excellent results comparable to those of surgical sympathectomy.
CONCLUSION: Palmar hyperhidrosis for which we have obtained the best results seems to us to be an extra indication of this technique which enables a cure at the price of a relatively simple procedure and a brief period of hospital stay.
