title: [Retroperitoneoscopic lumbar symathectomy].
abstract: During the period between August 1995 and February 1996 at the Second Surgical Clinic of the Faculty Hospital in Olomouc 12 retroperitonescopic lumbar sympathectomies were performed on account of different indications. The authors present an elaborate technique of access into the retroperitoneum and their own technique of lumboscopic sympathectomy. The success of the method was evaluated clinically and by histological evidence of sympathetic ganglia in the collected material. Retroperitoneoscopic lumbar sympathectomy is considered a gentle and safe method which can be used also in other patients where the risk of open surgery would be excessive.
