IMPACT OF COMPENSATORY HYPERHIDROSIS ON PATIENT SATISFACTION AFTER ENDOSCOPIC THORACIC SYMPATHECTOMY

Abstract

CH is common after ETS procedures, and the occurrence of severe, but not mild or moderate, CH is a major source of dissatisfaction after ETS. The overall occurrence of severe CH is reduced after T3 ganglionectomy as opposed to ganglionectomies performed at all other levels. The level of satisfaction with ETS is high.
