Abstract

A case of inferior brachial plexus injury during thoracoscopic sympathectomy is presented. As this complication occurred during the first operation of the kind in our department in 1991, it is believed that it can be prevented now by supervision of thoracoscopic sympathectomy by experienced surgeons.
