Modified R5-R8 Thoracic Sympathectomy for Severe Compensatory Hyperhidrosis

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2021
Compensatory hyperhidrosis is the most frequent complication after thoracic sympathectomy applied in the treatment of localized hyperhidrosis. It affects the quality of life in patients, especially in social, professional, and affective spheres. The present study aims to describe the operative technique of bilateral thoracic sympathectomy from R5 to R8

Management of Compensatory Hyperhidrosis

2018
Compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) is the most common and most feared adverse effect of thoracic sympathectomy and the complaint is mainly of increased sweat of the chest, abdomen, legs, and buttocks. Studies show that practically all patients will have some degree of this complication, but more than 11.6% of patients develop a severe CH with a social ...

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 ...

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

Predictive Procedure for Compensatory Hyperhidrosis before Sympathectomy: Preliminary Findings

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2013
Compensatory hyperhidrosis is one of the most common and serious adverse effects following sympathectomy. We performed a local anesthetic procedure that predicts the occurrence and severity of compensatory hyperhidrosis, and evaluated the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of the procedure.From July 2009 to July 2010, 20 patients with severe primary ...

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 ...

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 ...
