Abstract
The operation of phrenic nerve interruption is of the nature of a minor procedure in an operative field whose near-vital anatomical structures makes the possibility of serious complications a dangerous trap for the unwary operator. The absolute necessity of strict attention to the indications is borne out by the fact that its well proved efficacy in suitable cases is balanced by its inefficacy and grave dangers in unsuitable cases. The wise surgeon must think twice before he puts half of a patient's diaphragm forever out of action, and the initial paralysis should hardly ever be a permanent one.
