Summary

The level of origin and mode of constitution of the greater splanchnic nerve and its relations in the posterior mediastinum were studied. The aim of this work was to identify the anatomical basis of the transhiatus approach to the right and left greater splanchnic nerves. The azygos venous system was seen to be the main anatomical relation of these nerves. The results of this study should allow the surgeon to perform total bilateral neurotomy.

Résumé

La hauteur et le mode de constitution des nerfs grands splanchniques ainsi que leurs rapports dans le médiastin postérieur ont été étudiés pour préciser les bases anatomiques de l'abord trans-hiatal des nerfs grands splanchniques. Le système veineux azygos constitue le rapport essentiel. Le but de ce travail est de permettre une neurectomie bilatérale complète.
