Comparison of T2 and T3 sympathectomy for compensatory sweating on palmar hyperhidrosis
BACKGROUND An otherwise successfully performed endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) to treat palmar hyperhidrosis (PH) often has a serious side effect: compensatory sweating (CS). This side effect occurs in other parts of the body to a disturbing extent. The objective of this study is to determine whether there is a relationship between the level of ETS performed on patients with PH, and the...
متن کاملCompensatory hyperhidrosis following thoracic sympathectomy: a biophysical rationale.
A side-effect of endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) is compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH), characterized by excessive sweating from skin areas with intact sudomotor function. The physiological mechanism of CH is unknown, but may represent an augmented local sweat rate from skin areas with uninterrupted sympathetic innervation based on evaporative heat balance requirements. For a given combina...
متن کاملObjective evaluation of plantar hyperhidrosis after sympathectomy
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to prospectively, randomly, blindly, and objectively investigate how surgery affects plantar sudoresis in patients with palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis over a one-year period using a sudorometer (VapoMeter). METHODS From February 2007 to May 2009, 40 consecutive patients with combined palmar hyperhidrosis and plantar hyperhidrosis underwent video-as...
متن کاملSympathotomy instead of sympathectomy for palmar hyperhidrosis: minimizing postoperative compensatory hyperhidrosis.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether anatomical modification of sympathectomy diminishes severe postoperative compensatory hyperhidrosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 1, 2000, to June 1, 2001, we prospectively studied 10 consecutive patients with primary palmar hyperhidrosis, aged 14 to 42 years. Medical therapy had failed in all patients. A preoperative and postoperative evaluation and thermo...
متن کاملLong term compensatory sweating results after sympathectomy for palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis.
BACKGROUND Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy is currently the best treatment for primary upper extremity hyperhidrosis, but the potential for adverse effects, particularly the development of compensatory sweating, is a concern and often precludes surgery as a definitive therapy. This study aims to evaluate long-term results of two-stage unilateral versus one-stage bilateral thoracoscopic sympat...
