Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy surgery for the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis
Excessive sweating of the hands (palmar hyperhidrosis) is a known and quite common phenomenon in the Middle East. The most effective treatment is the detachment of a small nerve situated in the back of the thorax. In recent years, by inserting optical equipment into the thorax, these procedures have become routine. Surgical duration is about 10 minutes on each side, and the patient leaves the operating room with warm, dry hands. The patient is discharged on the following morning.
It is important to note that this intervention is designated only for people who suffer from excessive hand sweating; in certain circumstances this phenomenon can worsen in other parts of the body.
