Abstract
The sympathetic skin response (SSR) permits recording of the sympathet ic amyelinic fibres activity in relation to the function of sudoriparo us glands. We recorded the SSR to check the efficacy of ''nerve-sparin g'' technique in surgery of the sympathetic retroperitoneal postgangli onic fibres following lymphadenectomy in nonseminomatous testis cancer . The results showed that SSR can be used to verify the integrity of t he lumbar sympathetic chains after retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy.
