Fig 1 (A) The scope guide is a curved aluminum tube with an external diameter of 5.5 mm. There is some clearance between the flexible scope and internal lumen. There is a slit (arrow) in the middle through which air in the left pleural cavity can move into the right when right lung ventilation is switched to the left. (B) A postoperative photograph of the wound of a 20-year-old female with PH. The skin incision was determined, for its cosmetic outcome, by the patient preoperatively because the area could be covered by swimwear. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (99) )

Fig 2 The value of perfusion from intraoperative monitoring using a laser Doppler flow meter demonstrated a remarkable and temporary decrease of microcirculation in the skin of the finger after a electrocoagulation test (arrow) of the sympathetic trunk.

Fig 3 (A) The retrosternal pulmonary junction is usually noted in chest computed tomographic scan (arrow). There are usually thin bilateral parietal pleura and fat tissue. (B) A demonstration of this technique was performed using a cadaver. The arrow indicates the second thoracic sympathetic trunk. The scope guide brought an adequate visualization to the endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (99) )
