En este trabajo se muestran los resultados inmediatos obtenidos por un grupo cooperativo español en el tratamiento de la hiperhidrosis palmar mediante la utilización de la cirugía videotoracoscópica

Se han revisado todos los pacientes del grupo con esta afección especialmente la técnica, los resultados inmediatos y las complicaciones existentes al realizarla. La videotoracoscopia se muestra como el procedimiento de elección por su facilidad en la resección de la cadena simpática torácica, su seguridad, la falta de complicaciones importantes observadas, y con buenos resultados a corto plazo

Palabras clave:
Hiperhidrosis palmar
Simpatectomía endoscópica
Resultados inmediatos de la cirugía

Preliminary results from the Spanish cooperative group for the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery are presented in this paper. We have reviewed the cases of all patients with this disease treated by the group, especially noting the technique, the early results and complications. Video-assisted thoracoscopy emerges as the treatment of choice, given the ease with which the thoracic sympathetic chain can be resected, its safety, the lack of observed complications, and the good short-term results
