The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2005Recent data suggest that severe compensatory sweating after sympathectomy for hyperhidrosis is more common than previously reported. In particular, T2-T4 sympathectomy for axillary hyperhidrosis leads to significantly more disabling sweating compared with T2-T3 sympathectomy for palmar hyperhidrosis.

Thoracoscopic Sympathectomy and Vagotomy
1992The vasomotor fibers for the fingers and hand ascend from the 5th to the 3rd thoracic ganglion in the sympathetic trunk, pass through the stellate ganglion, and join the brachial plexus (Fig. 9.1). The much-practiced extirpation of the stellate ganglion is unnecessary and indeed is contraindicated due to its side effects (Horner’s syndrome).
