Abstract

Today, the most common indication for thoracic sympathectomy/ sympathicotomy is primary focal hyperhidrosis. The operation is performed thoracoscopically and usually the approach to the sympathetic chain is conducted through the third and fourth ribs. Although it is performed as a minimally invasive procedure with high success rates, there are also some common complications. In this article, we present a very rare case developing right chylothorax after right thoracic sympathicotomy.

Özet

Günümüzde, torasik sempatektomi/sempatikotomi için en yaygın endikasyon primer fokal hiperhidrozdur. Ameliyat torakoskopik olarak uygulanır ve genellikle sempatik zincire yaklaşım üçüncü ve dördüncü kaburgadan gerçekleştirilir. Yüksek başarı oranları ile minimal invaziv bir işlem olarak uygulanmasına rağmen, bazı yaygın komplikasyonlar da vardır. Bu yazıda, sağ torasik sempatikotomi sonrası sağ şilotoraks gelişen çok nadir bir olgu sunuldu.
