Anxiety after Sympathectomy in patients with primary palmar hyperhidrosis may prolong the duration of compensatory hyperhidrosis [PDF]
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2018 Background Compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) is a frequent side effect after sympathectomy for the treatment of primary palmar hyperhidrosis. We determined the effects of demographic and clinical factors which may increase the duration of CH (DCH). Methods

Thoracoscopic sympathetic block to predict compensatory hyperhidrosis in primary hyperhidrosis. [PDF]
J Thorac Dis, 2021 Compensatory hyperhidrosis is the main cause of patients' dissatisfaction following sympathectomy for primary hyperhidrosis. Therefore, thoracoscopic sympathetic nerve block before sympathectomy can be used to predict compensatory hyperhidrosis after sympathectomy.

Surgical treatment of compensatory hyperhidrosis: Retrospective observational study. [PDF]
Medicine (Baltimore), 2020 Compensatory hyperhidrosis is a debilitating postoperative condition occurring in 30% to 90% of patients with primary hyperhidrosis. The most appropriate treatment for compensatory hyperhidrosis remains controversial.Between January 2018 and December 2019, 44 patients with intractable compensatory hyperhidrosis underwent diffuse sympathicotomy (DS). In

Severe compensatory hyperhidrosis after thoracic sympathectomy. [PDF]
Neurol Clin Pract, 2016 A man was evaluated at age 35 years for burning/shooting pain in his left chest and drenching sweats affecting the lower trunk and legs since bilateral T2-T6 sympathectomy at age 22 for palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis. Thermoregulatory sweat test showed anhidrosis above T5/6 (sparing the left T2 dermatome) with rapid and profuse sweating elsewhere ...

Alternative Surgical Methods in Patients with Recurrent Palmar Hyperhidrosis and Compensatory Hyperhidrosis. [PDF]
Yonsei Med J, 2018 Recurrent hyperhidrosis after thoracic sympathectomy is an uncomfortable condition, and compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) is one of the most troublesome side effects. Here, we describe two patients with recurrent palmar hyperhidrosis (PH) and CH over the whole body simultaneously.

To avoid compensatory hyperhidrosis after sympathetic surgery for craniofacial hyperhidrosis. [PDF]
J Thorac Dis, 2020 Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) has not been widely adopted for treating craniofacial hyperhidrosis (CFH) due to its known postoperative complication, compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH). In this study, we evaluated whether the autonomic nerve analysis data via pre-ETS heart rate variability (HRV) test can predict post-ETS CH in patients with CFH ...

New sympathicotomy for prevention of severe compensatory hyperhidrosis in patients with primary hyperhidrosis. [PDF]
J Thorac Dis, 2020 Primary hyperhidrosis (PH) is characterized by excessive and uncontrollable secretion in the eccrine sweat glands of the craniofacial region, armpits, hands, and feet. Sympathicotomy is the most effective treatment for severe PH; however, compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) remains the most devastating postoperative complication. The purpose of the present

Compensatory hyperhidrosis following endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy: a 5-year follow-up study of risk factors and symptom progression [PDF]
Journal of Cardiothoracic SurgeryBackground Compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) is a common complication after endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) for hyperhidrosis. Despite its prevalence, long-term data on CH progression and associated risk factors are scarce.
