About

Evaluation of staged endoscopic thoracoscopic sympathicotomy in treatment of palmo-axillo-plantar hyperhidrosis

Full description

This is a pilot study that investigates the efficacy of video-assisted endoscopic sympathicotomy from the level of T3 to T12 on combined palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis.

Ablation of ascending sympathetic fibers would help alleviating both types of hyperhidrosis in a single setting.
