HYPERHIDROSIS KNOWLEDGE AND SCIENCE
February 2007: Surgery for Palmar Hyperhidrosis
Medical Publication:
Outpatient Microthoraacosopic Sympathectomy for Palmar Hyperhidrosis
Miller, D.L. and Force, S.D. Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 83(5): 1850-3, 2007
The authors report a 99% success rate in sympathectomy surgery for excessive sweating. 12% of patients suffering from excessive sweating developed the complication of compensatory hyperhidrosis.
This was a study of 50 patients with excessive sweating who opted for surgery to correct their hyperhidrosis problems. There were 41 women and 9 men in the study. Authors claim that "successful sympathectomy was achieved in 99% on palmar surfaces without recurrence" in the cases of thoracic sympathectomy. However, compensatory hyperhidrosis developed in 6 patients (12%) within just 4 weeks of the surgery.
Conclusion: Once again, another study purports that surgery is the answer to excessively sweaty palms. Is the 12% chance of extra sweating elsewhere worth the risk? Keep in mind, once someone develops this compensatory hyperhidrosis, it is very difficult to reverse. Something to keep in mind when seeking surgical solutions for excessive sweating.
