T3/T4 thoracic sympathictomy and compensatory sweating in treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis.
BACKGROUND Compensatory sweating (CS) is one of the most common postoperative complications after thoracic sympathectomy, sympathicotomy or endoscopic sympathetic block (ESB) for palmar hyperhidrosis. This study was conducted to examine the relevance between CS and the sympathetic segment being transected in the surgical treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis, and thus to detect the potential mechan...
متن کاملT2-T3 sympathectomy versus sympathicotomy for essential palmar hyperhidrosis: comparison of effects on cardio-respiratory function.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine cardio-respiratory changes after endothoracic sympathetic denervation and their correlation with the extent of denervation. METHODS A total of 45 patients with essential palmar hyperhidrosis were randomized into two groups: the conventional group (CG; 23 patients) and the simplified group (SG; 22 patients). In the CG, excision of T2 and T3 gan...
متن کاملObjective evaluation of patients with palmar hyperhidrosis submitted to two levels of sympathectomy: T3 and T4.
This study compares the results obtained of video-assisted sympathectomy performed on two distinct ganglion levels (third vs. fourth thoracic ganglion) in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis (PH), through a blind randomized clinical trial. All participants were randomized into two groups of 20 patients (G3 and G4) and underwent the operation, and were followed for 12 months. We used an object...
متن کاملA randomized trial of T3-T4 versus T4 sympathectomy for isolated axillary hyperhidrosis.
INTRODUCTION Video-assisted thoracic sympathectomy (VATS) is one minimally invasive definitive treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis. Different techniques exist for controlling axillary sudoresis, but they are temporary and have high cost. This study was conducted to compare the initial results from sympathectomy using two distinct levels for treating axillary sudoresis: T3-T4 vs T4. METHODS S...
متن کاملIs sympathectomy at T4 level better than at T3 level for treating palmar hyperhidrosis?
PURPOSE We compared the results from a video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathectomy (VTS) at the T4 denervation level with those from a VTS at the T3 level for the treatment of palmar hyperhydrosis (PH). METHODS Seventy patients with PH were prospectively followed for VTS at the T3 or T4 denervation levels for 6 months. The end points of this study were: absence of PH, compensatory hyperhydrosi...
