Twenty operations of video thoracoscopic sympathectomy (VTS) were performed on 17 patients in 1992-1994. The indications for the operation are Raynaud's disease and some obliterating occlusions of the upper limb arteries in which a reconstructive operation is not possible. The VTS operation is technically simple and atraumatic. Its effectiveness is determined by the disappearance of pain, warmer hands, and the results of histological study. The authors experience has shown that VTS does not need special instruments. At the same time, they believe that cooperation with specialists in thoracic and vascular surgery is very important and obligatory in development of complications.
1992年至1994年期间，对17例患者进行了20次电视胸腔镜交感神经切除术（VTS）。手术适应症为雷诺病和一些上肢动脉闭塞性病变，这些病变无法进行重建手术。VTS手术在技术上简单且无创。其有效性由疼痛消失、手部变暖以及组织学研究结果来确定。作者的经验表明，VTS不需要特殊器械。同时，他们认为在出现并发症时，与胸外科和血管外科专家合作非常重要且必不可少。
