Surgical sympathectomy has traditionally been achieved by 'open' surgical techniques. The transaxillary, cervical, or dorsal approaches have not been without morbidity and cosmetically have been found to be less than ideal. The main indication for sympathectomy in most units is palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis refractory to medical treatment, although

Neurosurgery, 2002
ABSTRACT THE THORACOSCOPIC APPROACH for the microsurgical removal of herniated thoracic discs is described, and perioperative management is also discussed. The microsurgical techniques used for decompression of the spinal canal in the thoracic spine are presented in detail.

Thoracoscopic diaphragm plication
The Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2020Diaphragmatic paralysis with subsequent eventration and respiratory compromise has a huge impact on the quality of life of affected patients. Many different surgical approaches for correcting this problem have been described in the past, using both transabdominal and transthoracic pathways.

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1992
Progress in instrumentation and techniques developed for laparoscopic surgery have paved the way for a resurgent interest in thoracoscopic procedures. Traditional thoracoscopy was limited by access, restricted visualization, and surgical devices. Recent cases provided an opportunity to successfully perform thoracoscopic pulmonary wedge excisions using ...

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1998
Lung volume reduction has been performed in patients with advanced emphysema to relieve dyspnea and improve exercise tolerance. Median sternotomy and video-assisted thoracoscopy have been proposed as equally adequate approaches; however, prolonged postoperative air leakage is the most prevalent complication in all series.

Thoracoscopic Basilar Segmentectomy
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2011TECHNIQUE Port placement is described in Table 1 and Figure 1. This standardized port configuration can be used for all segmental resections. On the left, the port arrangement is shifted slightly posterior to account for the heart/mediastinum. A metal 10-mm port is introduced for the camera at the level of the 7th interspace in the midaxillary line ...

Minimally invasive pulmonary segmentectomy makes adequate oncologic treatment possible in selected cases while preserving lung parenchyma and minimizing perioperative morbidity and length of hospital stay. Most lung segments may be resected as segmentectomies or as part of bisegmentectomies (as is the case for the lingula).

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2010
In recent years, the field of minimally invasive cardiac surgery has grown rapidly beginning with the MIDCAB operation and evolving toward totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). It promotes the goal of decreasing surgical trauma while maintaining surgical efficacy. For MIDCAB, a limited anterior thoracotomy or mediastotomy have been

Surgical Endoscopy, 1992
Thoracoscopic surgery is decidedly expanded by the ability to perform pulmonary wedge resections of the lung by using the Endo-GIA-stapler. In addition to thoracoscopic biopsies, since July 1991 we have carried out wedge resections in 12 patients suffering from spontaneous pneumothorax (nine) or peripheral bronchial carcinoma (three).

Awake Thoracoscopic Sympathectomy
2012Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) sympathectomy is a safe and effective procedure for treatment of facial, palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis. It can be more rarely used in other conditions. Awake thoracic surgery with epidural anesthesia and spontaneous ventilation has been employed to perform many surgical procedures including VATS sympathectomy.
