Presented at the Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery Summit, New York, NY, June 8–9, 2007.

Thoracoscopic sympathectomy has been used for the treatment of sympathetic dysfunction since it was first described in the 1940s. With the advent of video-assisted thoracic surgery, the procedure has become more widely applied. Video-assisted thoracic surgery allows excellent visual acuity as well as the possibility of doing the procedure more quickly and with fewer complications. This article presents a review of existing approaches and techniques as well as the author’s summary and preferences. The review of the articles on thoracoscopic sympathectomy only included those from the English literature.
