[Surgical aspects in the therapy of Buerger's disease].
Buerger's disease is generally not improved by reconstructive surgery. This one may be expected to succeed only on the atherosclerotic occlusions which eventually occur. Surgical treatment is therefore essentially based on the lumbar sympathectomy, both for trophic purpose as well as for pain relief. Criteria for unavoidable amputations are then exposed.
