Conclusions: In the context of palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis, extended thoracoscopic sympathectomy seemed to be preferred over limited thoracoscopic sympathectomy due to better overall outcomes and minimal time for hospital stays and Compensatory hyperhidrosis.
ABSTRACT Objective: The aim was to carefully evaluate and compare the results of extended sympathectomy versus T3, T4, and T5 resection in cases of palmer, axillary, and planter hyperhidrosis as regards decreased sweating and recurrence rates. Methods: This was a randomized controlled prospective trial conducted at the Department of Vascular Surgery Mansoura University Hospitals on a total of 120 patients with hyperhidrosis who were divided into two groups; group 1 who had undergone limited sympathectomy and group 2 who had undergone extended sympathectomy.
