Ganglionectomy

02/01/2012 - "For patients with pain recurrence after C2 decompression, salvage C2 ganglionectomy is a viable surgical option and should be offered with the potential for complete pain relief and improved quality of life (QOL)."
11/01/2012 - "Selective thoracic ganglionectomy is a safe and partially effective procedure in selected patients albeit there may be partial recurrence of pain. "
01/01/2020 - "An isolated C2 neurectomy or ganglionectomy is performed for an optimal pain relief. "
01/01/2013 - "Right-side semilunar ganglionectomy is a good method for pain control as an accompanying procedure in the course of another main operative technique."
02/01/2012 - "Among the 19 patients who completed the telephone questionnaire (mean follow-up 5.6 years), patients undergoing decompression, ganglionectomy, or decompression followed by ganglionectomy experienced similar outcomes, with mean pain reduction ratings of 5 ± 4.0, 4.5 ± 4.1, and 5.7 ± 3.5. "

10/01/2002 - "The results of this study indicate that upper thoracic ganglionectomy and sympathectomy performed with the use of percutaneous thermocoagulation are a very effective treatment for palmar and craniofacial hyperhidrosis that provides excellent immediate and long-term results as well as a low complication rate. "
04/01/1999 - "100% initial cure for palmar hyperhidrosis, 91% of sympathetic ganglionectomies for axillary hyperhidrosis were technically successful and initially curative. "
05/01/2002 - "In this prospective evaluation of a limited second thoracic ganglionectomy this approach, in addition to always being effective for pallmar hyperhidrosis, proved useful in up to 90% of patients with associated axillary and plantar hyperhidrosis. "
05/01/2004 - "This study comprised two subsets: 1) in the clinical subset, 25 patients (n = 50 sides) underwent bilateral second thoracic ganglionectomy for palmar hyperhidrosis, and factors predisposing to unsuccessful ULS were identified; and 2) in the anatomical subset, the neural connections of the first and second intercostal spaces were bilaterally dissected in 22 adult cadavers (22 right, 21 left; n = 43 sides). "
10/01/2002 - "From November 1986 to May 1998, upper thoracic ganglionectomy and sympathectomy with the use of percutaneous stereotactic thermocoagulation were performed in 1688 patients with palmar hyperhidrosis and 54 patients with craniofacial hyperhidrosis as outpatient surgical procedures based on a three-dimensional coordinate system for determining the location of the thermocoagulation point, which was developed by the authors in a cadaveric study. "

11/15/2021 - "The C-2 dorsal root ganglionectomy procedure can provide effective treatment for intractable occipital neuralgia (ON). "
01/01/2023 - "Minimally invasive C2 ganglionectomy can be used to successfully treat occipital neuralgia."
01/01/2023 - "Review demographic, surgery, and outcome data of a minimally invasive C2 root ganglionectomy used to treat to 2 patients with occipital neuralgia. "
01/01/2023 - "To report on the use of a minimally invasive technique for C2 ganglionectomy to treat occipital neuralgia. "
01/01/2022 - "Refractory occipital neuralgia can be treated with a nerve block, an ablative procedure such as neurectomy or ganglionectomy, or more recently occipital nerve stimulation."

07/01/1994 - "Abdominal ischemia also significantly (P < 0.05) increased the first derivative of left ventricular pressure at 40 mmHg developed pressure from 4,355 +/- 377 to 4,839 +/- 407 mmHg/s in group 3. Celiac and superior mesenteric ganglionectomy abolished the late but not the early hemodynamic changes. "
08/01/1988 - "The results suggest that left stellate ganglionectomy may reduce the incidence of digitalis-mediated malignant ventricular arrhythmias during ischemia, possibly due to a reduction in the severity of ischemic injury."
04/01/1980 - "Management of severe foot ischemia by low lumbar selective ganglionectomy."
04/01/1988 - "Both right and left stellate ganglionectomy reduced the incidence of early (0 to 10 min) (p = .004 and p = .001, respectively) and total (0 to 60 min) (p = .009 and p = .008, respectively) ischemia-induced ventricular fibrillation, and improved outcome (p = .0013 and p = .0012, respectively). "
03/01/1991 - "CBF returned to preischemic levels approximately 45 min after reperfusion and was reduced to approximately 65% of basal CBF for the remaining 75 min. In cats subjected to chronic trigeminal ganglionectomy (n = 15), postocclusive hyperemia in cortical gray matter was attenuated by up to 48% on the denervated side (249 versus 150 ml/100 g/min; p less than 0.01) after 10 min of ischemia. "

08/01/2000 - "Left cervicothoracic sympathetic ganglionectomy should be reserved for patients with LQTS who are intolerant of beta-blockers or have recurrent syncope that is refractory to beta-blockers and who for one reason or another are not candidates for ICD therapy. "
06/01/1998 - "In patients with recurrent syncope despite therapy with beta blockers, pacemakers and/or ganglionectomy may be useful in selected cases, with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator used as a fail-safe approach in high-risk patients."
07/09/2020 - "A 64-year-old white male with a past medical history of atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease requiring previous cardiac bypass surgery in 1997, and coronary artery stents in 2003 presented with syncope and refractory ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation. He eventually underwent both an ultrasound-guided left stellate ganglion block and left cardiac sympathetic denervation with left stellate ganglionectomy. "
11/01/1978 - "Untreated cases with syncope are usually fatal, but if diagnosed and treated appropriately with beta adrenergic blockers or surgical left stellate ganglionectomy, prognosis is markedly improved. "
