Hyperhidrosis and its surgical treatment

Hyperhidrosis and its surgical treatment

J Gruszkiewicz et al. Acta Neurochir (Wien). 1986.

Abstract

111 sections of high thoracic sympathectomies in 60 cases suffering from primary palmar hyperhidrosis are reported. Surgical results and postoperative complications are discussed in detail. Complications were few in number and were of a transitory nature. No mortality occurred in our series. Various surgical and nonsurgical procedures of treatment are reviewed. Surgical intervention remains the treatment of choice in essential idiopathic hyperhidrosis.
