Division of the thorasic ganglia of the sympathetic chain is done for following indications<\/span>
\n\uf0b7 Hyperhydrosis<\/span>
\n\uf0b7 Sympathetic dystrophy<\/span>
\n\uf0b7 Buergers disease<\/span>
\nIn these situations 2nd to 4th thorasic ganglia are removed. Caution is required to preserve the Stellate <\/span>ganglion in order to prevent Horners syndrome.<\/span>
\nThis procedure used to be done by open surgery via neck or axilla. However at our institute we perform <\/span>this using thoracoscopy. With minimal access approach the morbidity is reduced. In addition with <\/span>thoracoscopy only up to second ganglion is visualized protecting the Stellate ganglion.<\/span>
\nRecently two patients with a cardiac arrhythmia were recently referred for symathectomy to denervate <\/span>heart. In this situation it was necessary to remove supply from Stellate ganglion as well. In order to <\/span>prevent Development of Horners syndrome dissection was continued along sympathetic chain and lower <\/span>half of Stellate ganglion was divided.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nThoracoscopic sympathectomy is performed under general anaesthesia. Conventionally lung collapse to <\/span>obtain space for dissection is obtained by using a double lumen endotracheal tube and one lung <\/span>ventilation. However as there are problems associated with placing a double lumen tube we use a more <\/span>convenient and safe technique. We provide ventilation using a single lumen and obtain a lung collapse <\/span>by a capnothorax. We have studied this and found using an insufflation pressure of 6-8Hgmm is safe and <\/span>effective. Surgery is done in a semi-prone or full prone position. This position allows the collapsed lung <\/span>to fall away from posterior mediastinum.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
