Comparing Compensatory Sweating After Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Sympathectomy: (T2-3) Versus (T2-4) Levels for Treating Palmar Hyperhidrosis
The level of cauterization has no significant effect on palmar hyperhidrosis dryness after cutting the sympathetic chain at level (T2-3) vs. (T2-4). However, the greater the number of levels that are cauterized, which are three levels rather than two, the more severe the compensatory sweating in this study.
