Thoracoscopic sympathectomy for palmar hyperhidrosis.

Palmar hyperhidrosis (i.e., excessive sweating of the palms) usually appears at puberty and causes psychological, social, educational, and occupational problems for people who suffer from it. Although many treatments have been used, the only treatment that permanently eradicates the condition is sympathectomy. The advent of thoracoscopic surgery has allowed surgeons to perform sympathectomy as an outpatient procedure that is safe and effective and produces life-changing results for patients.
