Surgical Treatment for Compensatory Hyperhidrosis in Adie Syndrome

Archivos de Bronconeumología ((English Edition)), 2004
Ross syndrome is characterized by a triad of tonic pupil, areflexia and segmental hypohidrosis. Hypohidrosis may be accompanied by contralateral hyperhidrosis, probably due to a compensatory mechanism. We report a case of Ross syndrome with socially disabling left-sided hyperhidrosis. Sympathectomy of the second and third thoracic ganglia was performed

Thoracoscopic limited T-3 sympathicotomy for primary hyperhidrosis: prevention for compensatory hyperhidrosis

Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 2003
Object Compensatory hyperhidrosis is a major and troublesome complication of thoracoscopic sympathectomy for primary hyperhidrosis. The incidence of compensatory hyperhidrosis has been reported to be as high as 50 to 97% in the patients who underwent sympathetic ganglia resection.

Compensatory hyperhidrosis following thoracic sympathectomy: a biophysical rationale

American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2012
A side-effect of endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) is compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH), characterized by excessive sweating from skin areas with intact sudomotor function. The physiological mechanism of CH is unknown, but may represent an augmented local sweat rate from skin areas with uninterrupted sympathetic innervation based on evaporative ...

Fields of Anhidrotic Effects of AbobotulinumtoxinA in Patients With Compensatory Hyperhidrosis

Dermatologic Surgery, 2015
Botulinum toxin type A can be used to treat compensatory hyperhidrosis (CHH), which presents areas of different intensity of sweating. More information about the anhidrotic effects is needed.To evaluate the fields of anhidrotic effects (FAEs) resulting from different doses (5 and 10 U), dilution, and depths of injection of abobotulinumtoxinA in ...

Chronological changes of postsympathectomy compensatory hyperhidrosis and recurrent sweating in patients with palmar hyperhidrosis

Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 2005
Object. The author sought to investigate the temporal changes of postsympathectomy compensatory hyperhidrosis and recurrent sweating in patients with primary palmar hyperhidrosis. Methods. The author examined 91 consecutive patients for this prospective 6-year study.

Unilateral Sequential Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy for Palmar Hyperhidrosis: A Proposed Technique to Overcome Compensatory Hyperhidrosis and Improve Plantar Hyperhidrosis

Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 2015
Although endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) offers permanent cure of palmar hyperhidrosis (PH), compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) often complicates the procedure. We analyzed the outcomes of a 2-month interval for unilateral sequential ETS (S-ETS) in comparison with simultaneous bilateral ETS (B-ETS), notably regarding CH and associated plantar ...

Number of Preoperative Hyperhidrosis Sites Does Not Affect the Sympathectomy Postoperative Results and Compensatory Hyperhidrosis Occurrence

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2018
Background Patients with primary hyperhidrosis present with sweating in two or more sites in nearly 85% of cases. In this study, we examined whether the number of hyperhidrosis sites is related to the surgery outcomes. Methods One hundred ninety-three hyperhidrosis patients who underwent bilateral videothoracoscopic ...

Results of thoracoscopic sympathectomy for the treatment of axillary and palmar hyperhidrosis with respect to compensatory hyperhidrosis and dry hands

Surgical Endoscopy, 2004
We examined the results of thoracoscopic sympathectomy (TS) for palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis with respect to operative method, symptom control, patient satisfaction and complications.We performed a retrospective review of patient records with mail and telephone questionnaire follow-up of 55 patients (15 men) with a median age of 26 years (range ...

Compensatory Hyperhidrosis After ETS: Temporal Evolution and Predictors

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon
Abstract Compensatory hyperhidrosis remains the most significant complication after endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) for primary palmar hyperhidrosis. However, its temporal evolution and long-term predictors are not fully elucidated.

Incidence and Severity of Compensatory Hyperhidrosis Following Bilateral Sympathectomy

Annals of Vascular Surgery
Primary hyperhidrosis is a condition caused by an excessive stimulation of sweat glands, leading to a decline in both quality of life and social wellbeing. Thoracic sympathectomy surgery provides a relief of the initial symptoms but poses a risk for developing compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) in various degrees.The aim of this study was to assess the ...
