T3 Endoscopic Thoracic Ganglionectomy Using Cutting Mode Cautery for Palmar Hyperhidrosis
Because of the proximity of the T2 ganglion to the third rib, accidental thermal injury to the T2 ganglion may occur when third rib-oriented ETS is performed. A ganglion-oriented T3 ETS can be accomplished by using the white ramus communicans as a guide to accurately locate the T3 ganglion.
