[Gangliectomy in the treatment of obliterating arterial diseases of the lower extremities].
The work is based upon the experience with the treatment of 400 cases of obliterating diseases of the lower limbs arteries by means of gangliectomy. The evaluation of the operation is grounded on 2- and 10-years observations over the patients. When the blood flow insufficiency is not too severe, it, most commonly, results in a considerable decrease of the intensity of intermittent limping and favours the removal of destructive lesions. Beneficial results of the surgery most often persist for many years. In a higher obstruction of the arteries the results are somewhat poorer, the same as in case of obliterating atherosclerosis when compared to obliterating endoarteritis.
