Sympathicotomy for palmar hyperhidrosis: the association between intraoperative palm temperature change and the curative effect.
PURPOSE To investigate the association between intraoperative palm temperature change and the curative effect of sympathicotomy. METHODS 49 patients with palmar hyperhidrosis were treated with bilateral endoscopic sympathicotomy. Ipsilateral palm temperature was monitored before and at 3-5 min increments after the sympathetic trunk was transected. The maximum temperature elevation (Tmax) was ...
متن کاملComparison of the Long-Term Results of R3 and R4 Sympathicotomy for Palmar Hyperhidrosis
BACKGROUND Video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathicotomy has been determined to be the best way to treat palmar hyperhidrosis. However, satisfaction with the surgical outcomes decreases with the onset of compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) over time. The ideal level of sympathicotomy is controversial. Therefore, we compared the long-term results of R3 and R4 sympathicotomy. METHODS We retrospective...
متن کاملThe Changes of Skin Temperature on Hands and Feet During and after T3 Sympathicotomy for Palmar Hyperhidrosis
Unilateral thoracic sympathectomy in patients with palmar hyperhidrosis causes a skin temperature drop in the contralateral hand. A cross-inhibitory effect by the post-ganglionic neurons innervating hands is postulated as a mechanism of contralateral vasoconstriction. The purpose of our study was to evaluate whether this cross-inhibitory effect also occurs in the feet. Twenty patients scheduled...
متن کاملThe Effect of Thoracoscopic Sympathicotomy at the Fourth Rib (R4) for the Treatment of Palmar and Axillary Hyperhidrosis
BACKGROUND Video-assisted thoracic sympathicotomy plays an important for the treatment of essential hyperhidrosis. Patients are usually satisfied with the surgical outcome at the early post-operative period, but suffer recurrence and compensatory sweating in the late post-operative period. There are many sympathicotomy methods to minimize recurrence and compensatory sweating. We compared the ou...
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...
