title: [Use of Doppler ultrasonic examination for per-operative checking of non surgical upper dorsal sympathectomy in the treatment of hyperhydrosis (author's transl)].
abstract: Doppler ultrasonic examination has been used as an indirect means of per-operative checking of sweat secretion after non surgical upper dorsal sympathectomy performed by percutaneous injection of hot saline into the upper dorsal sympathetic ganglions for the treatment of palmar hyperhydrosis. Their experience with pre, per and post-operative utilisation of Doppler effect in sixty cases has evidenced a full parallelism between the arterial vasodilation and the decrease in sweat secretion following the destruction of the sympathetic ganglions by hot saline. In the last series of thirty-five cases per-operative use of Doppler ultrasonic examination has spared them failures of the procedure. They consider Doppler ultrasonic examination as a precious help in classical open sympathectomy as well in their non surgical method.
