- Conditions
- Hyperhidrosis

- Procedure: Staged ETS
- Registration Number
- NCT02728297
- Lead Sponsor
- Mansoura University
- Brief Summary
Evaluation of staged endoscopic thoracoscopic sympathicotomy in treatment of palmo-axillo-plantar hyperhidrosis
- Detailed Description
This is a pilot study that investigates the efficacy of video-assisted endoscopic sympathicotomy from the level of T3 to T12 on combined palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis.
Ablation of ascending sympathetic fibers would help alleviating both types of hyperhidrosis in a single setting.
