Sympathectomy Postganglionic

How does sympathectomy surgery work?

The sympathectomy approach to the treatment of pain in lower extremity neuralgia is a surgical procedure in which the damaged branch of the nerve is separated from the sympathetic ganglion, etc. individual nerves of the spinal cord. The nerve attaches back to the nerve that connects it to the cell body, this reduces the level of pathological activity. This reduces the activity of the autonomic nervous system. Normal physical sensations such as abdominal pain and erections are restored.
