Abstract

|
|
|
Primary hyperhidrosis is a functionally and socially disabling hypersweating of unknown etiology, affecting adolescents and young adults, especially in hot climates. Video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathicotomy is the most effective treatment for palmar, axillary, and facial hyperhidrosis. Intraoperative monitoring of palmar skin temperature is the most easily and frequently used method for assesssing the accuracy as well as adequacy of transection of the target sympathetic chain. The palmar temperature of 70 consecutive cases were analysied from January 2000 to June 2001. The Postoperative rise in right palmar temperature varied from 0℃ to 2.5℃(1.33 ± 0.37, p<0.01), in left varied from 0℃ to 2.4℃(1.33 ± 0.46, p<0.01). The monitoring of palmar temperature in hyperhidrosis is an relatively accurate, safe, and costeffective method during thoracic sympathicotomy.
