Let $K$ be the function field of a $p$-adic curve, $G$ a semisimple simply connected group over $K$ and $X$ a $G$-torsor over $K$. A conjecture of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, Parimala and Suresh predicts that if for every discrete valuation $v$ of $K$, $X$ has a point over the completion $K_v$, then $X$ has a $K$-rational point. The main result of this paper is the proof of this conjecture for groups of some classical types. In particular, we prove the conjecture when $G$ is of one of the following types: (1) ${}^2A_n^*$, i.e. $G=\mathbf{SU}(h)$ is the special unitary group of some hermitian form $h$ over a pair $(D, \tau)$, where $D$ is a central division algebra of square-free index over a quadratic extension $L$ of $K$ and $\tau$ is an involution of the second kind on $D$ such that $L^{\tau}=K$; (2) $B_n$, i.e., $G=\mathbf{Spin}(q)$ is the spinor group of quadratic form of odd dimension over $K$; (3) $D_n^*$, i.e., $G=\mathbf{Spin}(h)$ is the spinor group of a hermitian form $h$ over a quaternion $K$-algebra $D$ with an orthogonal involution. Our method actually yields a parallel local-global result over the fraction of a 2-dimensional, henselian, excellent local domain with finite residue field, under suitable assumption on the residue characteristic.
