Özet

Objective: Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy or sympathicotomy, for the treatment of palmar, axillary, and plantar hyperhidrosis, is generally performed at one or two levels, between T2 and T5. Compensatory sweating (CS) is a severe and undesirable side effect of this procedure. Here, we describe the success of treatment and degree of postoperative CS in sympathicotomy patients.
