Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficiency of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for primary palm hyperhidrosis by T4 sympathicotomy plus bypass fiber resection, and to describe our experience regarding the prevention of related postoperative complications.
METHODS:Clinical data for 32 cases of primary palmar hyperhidrosis in patients who underwent bilateral video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathictomy plus bypass fiber resection from October 2008 to June 2011 were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTS:The operation was performed successfully on all patients, and their palmar hyperhidrosis was completely alleviated after operation. No severe, surgery-related, postoperative complications occurred.
CONCLUSION:Video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathictomy is an effective, safe and minimally invasive procedure for primary palmar hyperhidrosis.
