Surgical treatment of systemic sclerosis—is it justified to offer peripheral sympathectomy earlier in the disease process?

Abstract: Peripheral sympathectomy is a well-tolerated procedure in patients with SSc and is associated with predictable pain relief and ulcer healing in the majority of patients. In light of these findings it seems prudent to offer surgical treatment not as a last resort but rather earlier in the disease process to decrease the duration that patients suffer pain.

“…62 For nonhealing DUs, in addition to correct systemic and topical management, some innovative approaches may be proposed. Digital sympathectomy may be useful to control Raynaud's phenomenon, increase blood flow, and improvhealing, [77][78][79] and may also be used in earlier phases to decrease DU-related pain. 79 Also, a cellular therapy using autologous adipose tissue-derived cells has been suggested as a possible treatment for chronic ulcers, 80,81 and may improve local vascularization and promote healing.…”
