Clinical analysis of treating palmar hyperhidrosis by thoracoscopic single-holesympathetic trunk T4 resection

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of treating palmar hyperhidrosis by video-assisted thoracoscopic single-holesympathectomy. Methods From March 2008 to December 2010,9 patiens suffering from palmar hyperhidrosis underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathectomy.Their clinical materials were analysed ret rospectively and the literatures were reviewed. Results The selective video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathectomy was successfully performed in all patients.The operation time(both side)was (23.3±4.7)min with an average of 28 min.The median hospital stay was(2.5±1.5)d.The mean follow-up was (20.1±2.3)months.One patient developed compensatory(increased) sweating in the trunk,One patient in the thighs and the feet,but the symptoms were mostly tolerable and required no further treatment. Conclusion Video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathectomy is a safe,effective and minimally invasive therapeutic solution for patients with palmar hyperhidrosis.
