Scar-concealed 2 + 3 mm dual-port thoracoscopic sympathectomy for palmar hyperhidrosis: single-center outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To minimize the trauma and incision of the operation for primary palmar hyperhidrosis (PPH), we have designed a inconspicuous scar thoracoscopic bilateral thoracic sympathetic chain transection via "2 + 3 mm" two-pinhole incisions (ISTTST). This study mainly retrospectively compares and analyzes the pros and cons of this surgical method vs. the conventional single-port thoracoscopic sympathetic nerve transection (CSTTST).

Methods

Data of patients with moderate or severe PPH and underwent thoracic sympathetic chain transection were collected. Patients undergoing ISTTST and those receiving CSTTST were included in the two-pinhole group and the single-port group respectively. The baseline characteristics, intraoperative and postoperative conditions of the two groups we
