laparoendoscopic single site retroperitoneal Lumbar Sympathectomy initial report
Neurosurgery, 2011Co-Authors: Tin Chou Li, Shiudong Chung, Kuofeng Huang, Yao Chou TsaiAbstract:BACKGROUND: Retroperitoneoscopic Lumbar Sympathectomy is a safe and effective treatment for plantar hyperhidrosis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoendoscopic single-site retroperitoneal Lumbar Sympathectomy in plantar hyperhidrosis. METHODS: Bilateral laparoendoscopic single-site retroperitoneal Lumbar Sympathectomy was performed in a 27-year-old man who suffered from excessive sweating from the soles of the feet. A homemade single port was created with an Alexis wound retractor through a 2.5-cm incision at the tip of the 12th rib. With conventional 5-mm laparoscopy and instruments, retroperitoneal Lumbar Sympathectomy was performed. RESULTS: The procedure was completed successfully without any complications and with minimal blood loss. The operative time was 110 and 80 minutes for the procedure on the left and right sides. The perioperative course and postoperative course were uneventful. The patient had anhidrosis of both feet after surgery with Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale score of 1 at the 1-month follow-up. CONCLUSION: Laparoendoscopic single-site retroperitoneal Lumbar Sympathectomy is a safe and feasible procedure according to our initial experience.

Lumbar Sympathectomy accelerates sacrococcygeal wound healing in rats
Biomedical Research-tokyo, 2020Co-Authors: Zhifang Zheng, Jianbing Tang, Biao ChengAbstract:Pressure Ulcers (PUs) severely impair patient quality of life and account for a high percentage of annual healthcare costs. Lumbar Sympathectomy has previously been used for the treatment of chronic leg ulcers. It is still unclear, however, whether Lumbar Sympathectomy accelerates wound healing in sacrococcygeal skin, a high-risk area for PUs in mostly bedridden patients. Thirty-six Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to the Lumbar sympathectomised group, the sham-operated group, and the blank control group. Two wounds were generated in the sacrococcygeal skin of each rat 2 w after modelling. The expression of dopamine β-hydroxylase (DβH) and Norepinephrine (NE) in sacrococcygeal skin were detected by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. The wounds were photographed and measured with Image-Pro Plus v 6.0 software. Then, the wounds were cut and observed by haematoxylin and eosin staining for re-epithelialization and Masson’s Trichrome staining for collagen fibres on d 3, 7, and 21 post-wounding. DβH and NE expression in sacrococcygeal skin were reduced 2 w after Sympathectomy. Lumbar Sympathectomy accelerated sacrococcygeal wound contraction (p

DβH and NE expression in sacrococcygeal skin were reduced 2 w after Sympathectomy. Lumbar Sympathectomy accelerated sacrococcygeal wound contraction (p<0.05). There were no statistical differences among groups in the scores of reepithelialisation. The integrated optical densities of stained collagen were increased after Sympathectomy in sacrococcygeal wounds (p ≤ 0.001). In conclusion, Lumbar Sympathectomy accelerates sacrococcygeal wound healing in rats. Lumbar Sympathectomy may be beneficial for the healing of PUs in the sacrococcygeal region.
