Abstract

A technique of thoracic splanchnicectomy under video thoracoscopic control is reported. This simple and non aggressive procedure is indicated for very painful forms of pancreatic cancer and for some cases of chronic pancreatitis. It should relieve pain for a longer period than splanchnic nerve injection or radiotherapy.
