dc.description.abstract | Aim: Palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis is caused by overstimulation of the
sympathetic nervous system that control the sweat glands. This study compares
the clinical consequences of uniportal and multiportal thoracic endoscopic thoracic
sympathectomy (ETS), in cases of severe palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis.
Methods: In this retrospective study, forty-one patients who were diagnosed as
severe palmar and axillary primary hyperhidrosis were analyzed. These underwent
multiportal ETS between 2015 and 2020 at our thoracic surgery clinic. They were
divided into two groups, 24 as uniportal (58.5%) and 17 as multiportal (41.5%). They
were compared in terms of the length of hospital stay, the initial complications and
possible recurrences after three months. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate
stratified and continuous variables.
Results: There was no significant difference in moderate pain between the two
groups. There was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of 3 days
or more hospitalization. There were no significant difference related to the rate of
complications such as ptosis, Horner syndrome, increased duration of surgery and
recurrence rate of hyperhidrosis 3 months after surgery. Some mild to moderate side
effects disappeared spontaneously at 6-month follow-up.
Conclusion: The results showed that uniportal and multiportal endoscopic
thoracoscopic sympathectomy (EST) are very effective, safe and minimally invasive
methods for the treatment of palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis. Compared to the
multiportal approach, uniportal EST causes less postoperative pain and less surgical
duration. | en_US |
