Objective:
To evaluate the efficiency of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for primary palm hyperhidrosis by T4 sympathicotomy plus bypass fiber resection, and to describe our experience regarding the prevention of related postoperative complications.
Methods:
Clinical data for 32 cases of primary palmar hyperhidrosis in patients who underwent bilateral video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathictomy plus bypass fiber resection from October 2008 to June 2011 were analyzed retrospectively.
Results:
The operation was performed successfully on all patients, and their palmar hyperhidrosis was completely alleviated after operation. No severe, surgery-related, postoperative complications occurred.
Conclusion:
Video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathictomy is an effective, safe and minimally invasive procedure for primary palmar hyperhidrosis.
