[Thoracic sympathectomy using thoracoscopy].

In the years 1996-1997 9 dorsal sympathectomies (DS) were performed in the authors Department using VATS technique. There were 6 right dorsal sympathectomies and 3 left DS in the group of 7 patients. Indication for dorsal sympathectomies was idiopathic hyperhidrosis in 4 cases and vascular disorders in 3 cases. Operating time for the single procedure was 30'. Chest drain was never used. There were no major complications (Horner's syndrome-one patient, intercostal neuralgia, which disappeared in a few days-2 patients). Patients left hospital the day after operation (only those with fingers ulceration stayed longer). The results of dorsal sympathectomies in patients with hyperhydorsis were excellent, less impressive in those suffered from vasospastic and vascular disorders.

[Late results of laparoscopic surgery for inguinal hernia (TAPP)].

Late results of TAPP have been assessed in a group of 79 patients operated for inguinal hernia- in the years 1994-1996. Altogether 87 TAPP were performed in this group (8 bilateral herniorrhaphies) all of them classified according to ASA scale from I degree-III degree. Following Schumpelick hernia classification there were: M = 41, L = 35, F = 11, I degree = 31, II degree = 27, III degree = 21. 31 hernias were recurrent and 11 were irreducible. The patients have been followed up for at least 1 year (on average 16 months). TAPP was lasting in this group of patients from 40-120 min (on average 70 min) including bilateral repairs. There was 1 intraoperative bleeding which had been the cause of conversion to the open operation. No wound infection was noticed. Postoperative inguinal hematoma which resolved spontaneously was noticed in 4 cases. The patients left hospital the day after TAPP. 2 recurrences were noticed so far (2.3%), 3 patients complained of transient inguinal neuralgia. Late results of TAPP in the rest of the patients have been very good.
