ABSTRACT
Radiofrequency thoracic sympathectomy is routinely conducted under computed tomographic or fluoroscopic guidance in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis. However, it remains a great challenge to perform a thoracic paravertebral puncture precisely and safely, because it is associated with repeated exposure to radiation and the risk of a pneumothorax. Alternatively, an ultrasound-guided technique can provide high-resolution and real-time needle tracking during the percutaneous procedure. We have provided our experience of ultrasonic guidance in radiofrequency sympathectomy for the treatment of primary palmar hyperhidrosis.
