Thoracoscopic sympathectomy Surgery
Thoracoscopic sympathectomy is a surgical procedure designed to improve the quality of life for those suffering from excessive sweating in the palms and armpits. The issue can be permanently resolved through a short and simple procedure via a tiny incision in the chest. The surgery leads to a dramatic improvement in quality of life, enabling better functionality without embarrassment or anxiety. As a result, patients experience a significant boost in self-confidence and can enjoy daily activities they previously avoided, such as handshakes, writing, and using electronic devices.
Patients who underwent the surgery were asked about their satisfaction with the results and whether they experienced any complications.
