Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy
Dermatol Clin.

Abstract
Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy is a surgical technique most commonly used in the treatment of severe palmar hyperhidrosis in selected patients. The procedure also has limited use in the treatment axillary and craniofacial hyperhidrosis. Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy is associated with a high rate of the development of compensatory hyperhidrosis, which may affect patient satisfaction with the procedure and quality of life.
Keywords: Axillary hyperhidrosis; Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy; Hyperhidrosis; Palmar hyperhidrosis; Quality of life.
