[Upper thoracic thoracoscopic sympathectomy as the method of choice for reoperation of the thoracic sympathetic nerve].

The authors present in their paper the possibility of thoracoscopic thoracic sympathectomy as the method of choice for reoperation of the thoracic sympathetic nerve 14 years after classical surgical upper chest sympathectomy, as the original effect had receded. They mention the possibility of reoperation of the sympathetic nerve with a subsequent favourable effect by the endoscopic method which reduces the risk of complications to a minimum.
