Bilateral thoracoscopy for sympathectomy in the treatment of hyperhidrosis

P Dumont, A Hamm, D Skrobala, P Robin and B Toumieux
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Hopital Trousseau, Tours, France.

Thoracoscopic sympathectomy has been established as the least invasive technique with high success rates for treatment of palmary hyperhidrosis [1,4,5]. In our procedure both sides are treated during the same operation. A bilateral thoracoscopy was performed in 20 patients for incapacitating hyperhidrosis. Immediate complications at operation were minimal. All patients reported satisfaction with the procedure in spite of compensatory sweating. The short hospital stay has significant financial benefits and these are increased if both sides are treated at the same time. This procedure is more aggressive than the single side procedure but the morbidity is not increased.
