Abstract
A technique of thoracic splanchnicectomy under video thoracoscopic con trol is reported. This simple and non agressive procedure is indicated for very painful forms of pancreatic cancer and for some cases of chr onic pancreatitis. It should relieve pain for a longer period than spl anchnic nerve injection or radiotherapy.
