Surgery Hyperhidrosis Revolutionary new treatment A minimally invasive surgical technique has been developed which cures palmar hyperhidrosis. The procedure, called Thoracoscopic Sympathectomy, or Endoscopic Transthoracic Sympathectomy (ETS), allows the sympathetic nerves to be divided with very low risk, short recovery time, and minimal pain. Using a video telescopic camera and a single small incision on each side, the surgeon can identify and divide the sympathetic nerve chain that is responsible for the excessive sweating. Dr. Hagen notes that "the benefits of the procedure are immediate, and in most cases, the patient can return home on the day of surgery." "Furthermore", Dr. Hagen added, "because the procedure is so minimally invasive both sides can usually be done the same day, thereby eliminating the hassle of two separate operations." If you are interested in more information regarding this exciting new treatment option for hyperhidrosis, we recommend that you discuss it with your family physician.

Personal Stories Getting a Grip on Palmar Hyperhidrosis A 27-year-old graphic designer, who asked that her name not be mentioned in this article, knows the symptoms of hyperhidrosis all too well. For all of her life she has suffered from palmar hyperhidrosis, or sweaty palms. The most common manifestation of the condition, palmar hyperhidrosis is also the most challenging for patients because it is extremely difficult to control. Like many people with palmar hyperhidrosis, the designer also suffered from plantar hyperhidrosis, or sweaty feet. In recent years, she had noticed that the condition had spread to her armpits (axillary hyperhidrosis) as well. "As far back as I can remember, I've always had sweaty hands," she says. "They were always wet and cold, and just left me feeling uncomfortable. They would sweat from morning to tonight, for no reason at all; nothing would trigger it, not even temperature. Even in the freezing cold of winter, they were sweaty." "The worst part about the condition is you can't hide it," adds the designer. "If I was in a situation where I didn't want my hands to be sweaty, without fail they would sweat. For example, if I was going to a job interview and had to shake someone's hand, they would start sweating more." When asked to define 'sweating', the patient clarifies, saying, "my hands weren't moist; they were physically dripping."
