Video-assisted sympathectomy is a key treatment for autonomic system diseases, mainly hyperhidrosis. While also used for reflex sympathetic dystrophy and Raynaud disease, its application for these conditions is less common.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Autonomic Nervous System Disorders

Background:

  • Videotechnology has advanced surgical techniques.
  • Sympathectomy is a recognized treatment for autonomic system disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the role of video-assisted sympathectomy.
  • To discuss its primary application in hyperhidrosis management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of sympathectomy procedures.
  • Focus on video-assisted techniques.

Main Results:

  • Sympathectomy is increasingly utilized due to video technology.
  • Hyperhidrosis is the primary indication for sympathectomy.
  • Other applications like reflex sympathetic dystrophy and Raynaud disease are less frequent.
