Thoracoscopic surgery of palmar hyperhidrosis.
New thoracoscopic methods have been reported to minimise the operative trauma after surgical treatment of primary hyperhidrosis of the palms. We therefore began with this minimally invasive technique for sympathetic ablation in 1990. Our first 81 patients presented here confirm earlier results of excellent effects, few complications and mild side-effects when treating palmar hyperhidrosis with thoracoscopic sympathectomy.
