Video-Assisted Open Supraclavicular Sympathectomy Following Air Embolism

BACKGROUND: Air embolism is a relatively rare complication of thoracoscopic surgery. METHODS: Open supraclavicular sympathectomy was indicated to overcome the risk of re-embolization. A novel video-assisted technique was performed. CONCLUSIONS: The previously prevalent open supraclavicular sympathec...

description BACKGROUND: Air embolism is a relatively rare complication of thoracoscopic surgery. METHODS: Open supraclavicular sympathectomy was indicated to overcome the risk of re-embolization. A novel video-assisted technique was performed. CONCLUSIONS: The previously prevalent open supraclavicular sympathectomy is a good choice for avoiding air embolism. Laparoscopic instrumentation and technology can be used to improve open procedures, especially when exposure and visibility are limited. Sometimes we should remember to use the experience of our teachers.
