HYPERHIDROSIS KNOWLEDGE AND SCIENCE
July 2007: Experiments with Cutting Nerves at
Different Levels for Hyperhidrosis
Medical Publication:
Treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis: T(4) level compared with T(2) and T(3).
Annals of Surgery, 246(2):: 330-6, 2007.
Synopsis: A review of experiments involving the depth of cuts during surgery for hyperhidrosis.
The authors compared a surgical procedure which cuts the nerves at the so-called T(4) level with cuts at other levels in the spinal chain as a treatment for excessive sweating. They found that the T(4) procedure was better and more effective for treatment of hyperhidrosis compared to the other two.
Conclusions: Everyone, surgeons included, always look for a better way to do things. Surgical treatment for excessive sweating is no exception. Every surgeon has their favored technique, but this study seems to indicate the best results for treating hyperhidrosis / excecssive sweating. Complications such as compensatory hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating in other parts of the body as a result of the surgery) were reduced with the T(4) incision as opposed to T(2) or T(3). So as the surgical treatment of excessive sweating becomes more refined, we can hopefully see better results with fewer complications, thus giving people who suffer from hyperhidrosis / excessive sweating even more hope.
