The Endoscopic Approach to the Vegetative Nervous System and Its Therapeutic Possibilities

Especially in Duodenal Ulcer, Angina Pectoris, Hypertension and Diabetes

E. KUX M.D., F.C.C.P.

The endoscopic approach to the thoracic sympathetic chain is described and has been practiced in more than 500 cases. In the treatment of more than 200 patients suffering from duodenal ulcers the method has been proved. Excellent results have been obtained from carefully chosen cases of Angina pectoris. The method represents an improvement in the treatment of hypertension, because there is practically no operative risk. Therefore, the indication may be enlarged. For certain cases of diabetes the method can be recommended.
