Chemical sympatholysis is commonly performed for palmar or plantar hyperhidrosis, Buerger's disease, critical lower limb ischaemia where there is no revascularization option available and palliation of pain. The outcome varies from symptomatic improvement to failure, which may result in limb loss in the case of ischaemic limbs.
