title: [Indications and results of dorsal sympathectomy in vascular syndromes of the upper limb (author's transl)].
abstract: The authors report 50 cases of dorsal sympathectomy followed up on the cardiovascular surgery unit of the Amiens University Hospital over a period of six years. The authors then formulate a number of reflexions concerning the clinical findings, the therapeutic indications, and the way of assessing the results of this operation in vascular syndromes of the upper limb. This is a plea in favour of this operation as, in most cases, no other treatment is comparable.
