Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Patients with a CRPS Type II at the upper or the lower limb will be included in the study after ineffective pain therapy for more than 6 months. The most proximal region of pain associated with CRPS can be localized and 2% Lidocain will be injected into that area. If the sympathetic, deep, burning pain can be blocked repeatedly with these injections, the subcutaneous veins in the previously determined area will be surgically removed. This operation should lead to the permanent resolution of symptoms.
A visual analogue scale (VAS), the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), thermography and physical examinations will be used to evaluate the outcome of the operation.

Patients with CRPS Type II
SUBCUTANEOUS VENOUS SYMPATHECTOMY (RSVS)
After incision of the skin a subcutaneous area of approximately 16 cm² (2.5 square inches) will be en block removed between dermis and muscle fascia. All prior detected and marked veins in the operating field will be ligated or coagulated precisely.The tissue defect generated by this operation will be closed by a full thickness or a meshed skin graft which arises during the preparation.
