Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy for Palmar Hyperhidrosis
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Numerous open operations on the thoracic sympathetic ganglia for the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis have been advocated, but have also produced several complications.
A new therapeutic technique for thi disorder has been introduced by combining a thoracoscope and video system. We performed thoracoscopic transthoracic sympathecomy safely and effectively in thirtyfour cases with palmar hyperhidrosis. Althought
the
follow up period was short, all hands of patients were dry immediately after the operation & there was no recurrence of palmar sweating. Based on our experience, this method is considered a relatively minor and safe procedure without producing
significant postoperative complication, causing minimal discomfort and almost invisible scar.
