VATS Sympathectomy Service Launch
After many months of work to set up this service we have finally launched it with our first operation in Malta under the expert guidance of Mr Georgios Sotiropoulos who has flown to us from Athens to supervise the first operation.
This operation is quickly performed on both sides of the chest sequentially by a VATS 2 port approach. The key to success here is knowing exactly where to cut the sympathetic nerve. A massive thank you to Mr Sotiropoulos for training me and helping us prepare all the equipment needed for this service to now operate in Malta.
