  • Objective : Essential hyperhidrosis is a pathological condition of excessive sweating beyond that required to cool the body, though poorly understood, originating from a dysfunction of the sympathetic nervous system. Thoracoscopic sympathectomy is the most popular treatment for upper limb hyperhidrosis, because it is a safe, effective, minimally invasive, and time-saving method. However, the common complication is the compensatory hyperhidrosis in other areas of the body, notably on the back, chest, abdomen, and buttocks. Compensatory hyperhidrosis is severe enough for some people, especially those living in a warm climate or engaging in heavy physical activities, to regret ever having had operation. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying compensatory hyperhidrosis are incompletely understood, even though it is thought to be a truly compensatory feature related to thermoregulation of the body. Materials and Methods : we studied the clinical features of total 233 patients who were diagnosed as essential hyperhidrosis and treated with thoracoscopic sympathectomy or sympathicotomy from March 1992 to July 2000. Results : The success rate of thoracoscopic sympathetic surgery(sympathectomy or sympathicotomy) was 98.7%. The global rate of compensatory hyperhidrosis was 77% ; 84% in group T2, 3 sympathectomy, 76% in group T2 sympathectomy, 43% in group T2, 3 sympathicotomy and 59% in group T2 sympathicotomy. The rate of embarrassing or disabling compensatory sweating was significantly higher in T2 sympathectomy and in T2, 3 sympathectomy than in T2 sympathicotomy and T2, 3 sympathicotomy with significancy in statistic analysis(p<0.01). The precipitating factors of compensatory hiperhidrosis, including heat(warm weather), anxiety, stress, and exertion were noted. The compensatory hyperhidrosis was the main cause of patient dissatisfaction after thoracoscopic sympathectomy. Conclusion : The degree of compensatory hyperhidrosis is closely related to the extent of thoracic sympathectomy.

  • Conventional thoracoscopic sympathectomy is an effective method in treating palmar-axillary hyperhidrosis. However, this may result in a postoperatively compensatory hyperhidrosis. Conservative treatments of compensatory hyperhidrosis consist of aluminum chloride, anticholinergics, iontrophoresis, and botulinum toxin A injections. Surgical treatments in compensatory hyperhidrosis include excision of axillary tissue, liposuction, and thoracoscopic sympathectomy. Intradermal injection of botulinum toxin A has used to treat focal axillary or palmar hyperhidrosis. Botulinum toxin A bestows significant benefits with few side-effects and is well-tolerated, with beneficial results lasting from 4-16 months. We report a case illustrating the beneficial use of botulinum toxin A in a 25-year-old healthy male patient with compensatory sweating of the flank after thoracoscopic sympathectomy. Modified Minor's starch iodine test was used to allow accurate assess the impact of hyperhidrosis on the patient. In conclusion, Botulinum toxin type A is a valuable therapy for compensatory sweating after endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy.

  • Background: Conventional thoracoscopic sympathectomy or sympathicotomy is an effective method in treating localized hyperhidrosis; however, this may result in a postoperatively compensatory hyperhidrosis or facial anhidrosis in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis. We modified the conventional sympathicotomy by limiting the extent of nerve transection (limited T3 sympathicotomy) since May 1998. However, there are many reports of a good short-term outcome of limited T3 sympathicotomy. Therefore, we reviewed long-term follow-up of limited T3 sympathicotomy based on outcomes analysis using a questionnaire. Methods: Fifty four patients with palmar hyperhidrosis underwent a limited T3 sympathicotomy between May 1998 and March 1999 and had a complete follow-up over two years using a questionnaire (the mean follow-up was 2.6 years). The patients' postoperative satisfaction was determined by their subjective responses to the questionnaires; the degree of compensatory hyperhidrosis, the effects on foot hyperhidrosis, gustatory hyperhidrosis and facial dryness, and recurrence, and patient's satisfaction. Results: Of the total, 87% of patients had a compensatory hyperhidrosis and 3.7% of them were disabled. 31.5% of patients showed improvement in foot hyperhidrosis, while 68.5% of patients demonstrated no change or got worse. 31.5% of patients had gustatory hyperhidrosis and facial dryness and 22.2% of patients showed a mild palmar hyperhidrosis. The postoperative patients' satisfaction was significantly in 96.3% of patients. Conclusions: The limited T3 sympathicotomy is a highly effective treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis and has a low rate of postoperative compensatory hyperhidrosis, gustatory hyperhidrosis, and facial dryness.

  • Compensatory hyperhidrosis or reflex hyperhidrosis is the increase in sweating in the postoperative stage of thoracic sympathectomy or lumbar sympathectomy. It shares several features with anxiety disorders and has a negative impact on a patient's quality of life. Oralglycopyrrolate is one of the treatment options available. This study reviewed case notes in a series of 19 patients with compensatory hyperhidrosis. We made a comparison between the Milanez de Campos score of a pre-glycopyrrolate medication group and the Milanez de Campos score of a post-glycopyrrolate medication group. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score, Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) score, and autonomic nervous system (ANS) scale score were also compared between the pre-medication and post-medication groups. In the post-glycopyrrolate medication group, there was decrease in the Milanez de Campos score, BAI score, and BDI score (P < 0.05). But no meaningful change was seen in the ANS score in the post-glycopyrrolate medication group (P > 0.05). Glycopyrrolate is an effective medication in the treatment of compensatory hyperhidrosis that, can alleviate anxiety and improve patients' quality of life.

  • 배경: 다한증환자에서 교감신경 절단술은 효과적인 치료방법으로 수술직후에는 만족도가 높으나 시간이 경과함에 따라 만족도가 떨어지는데, 그 원인은 보상성 다한증이 주원인이라 할 수 있다. 보상성 다한증은 일상생활에 아주 불편한 질환으로 그나 유발인자에 대해 많은 연구와 노력이 있었으나, 그에 대해 알려진 바는 없는 실정이다. 대상 및 방법: 계명대학교 의과대학 흉부외과에서 1999년 5월부터 2001년 6월까지 141례의 교감신경 절단술을 시행하였으며, 25례의 안면부 다한증은 두 번째 늑골에서, 116례의 수장부 다한증은 세 번째 늑골에서 교감신경을 절단하였다. 모든 례에서 추적이 가능하였고 보상성다한증의 유무에 따라 두군으로 나눈 후 성별, 나이, 체표면적, 교감신경 절단의 위치, 직업의 유무에 따른 보상성 다한증의 경향을 조사하였다. 결과: 전체 141례 중 보상성 다한증은 91례로 64.5%를 보였다. 보상성 다한증이 있는 군과 없는 군에서 체표면적, 교감신경 절단의 위치, 직업의 유무에 따른 차이는 없었으며, 평균연령은 보상성 다한증이 있는 군은 26.4세, 없는 군은 23.2세로 나타났다(p=0.09). 남녀 비에서 보상성 다한증이 있는 군은 남자 46명, 여자 45명(50.5%, 49.5%)이었으며, 없는 군에서는 남자 19명, 여자 31명(38.0%, 62.0%, p=0.16)으로 나타났다. 결론: 여러 결과에서 통계적으로 유의한 인자는 없었으나, 남녀 비와 평균연령에 있어서는 보상성 다한증의 경향에 근접한다고 볼 수 있었다. 향후 좀 더 많은 환자분석과 가족력, 그리고 정신적인 병력유무 등의 여러 인자들을 고려한다면, 보상성 다한증 발생의 예측인자조사에 도움이 되리라 생각된다.

  • Objective : Thoracoscopic T2 sympathicotomy had been performed as a simple and effective method in treating palmar hyperhidrosis, but some patients are not satisfied with the result of sympathicotomy due to compensatory hyperhidrosis. Therefore, a more limited T2 sympathicotomy using 2mm endoscope was introduced. We made a comparison between conventional T2 sympathicotomy and limited T2 sympathicotomy on operative results and compensatory hyperhidrosis. Material and Method : From January 1998 to April 2000, 56 patients were treated by video assisted endoscopic thoracic sympathicotomy. Thirty patients of these underwent T2 sympathicotomy(Group A), and the remainders underwent limited T2 sympathicotomy(Group B). The limited T2 sympathicotomy is coagulation of the interganglionic fibers of T2 sympathetic ganglion on T2 rib head. The comparative analysis between two groups was based on the medical records and telephone interview results. Result : All patients were treated for excessive sweating on palms with 2mm endoscopic sympathicotmy. There were no mortalities, life-threatening complications except one recurrent patient who was treated successfully with reoperation( endoscopic sympathicotomy). Compensatory hyperhidrosis was common in group A. An individual satisfactory rate for the operations was higher in group B than in group A. Conclusion : The limited T2 sympathicotomy considered to be a more effective and less complicated method than the T2 sympathicotomy for the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis.

  • Background: Video-assisted thoracic sympathicotomy plays an important for the treatment of essential hyperhidrosis. Patients are usually satisfied with the surgical outcome at the early post-operative period, but suffer recurrence and compensatory sweating in the late post-operative period. There are many sympathicotomy methods to minimize recurrence and compensatory sweating. We compared the outcome of sympathicotomy methods above the third rib (R3) and the fourth rib (R4) with regards to symptoms, satisfaction, recurrence, and compensatory palmar and axillary hyperhydrosis. Materials and Methods: From January 1999 to April 2009, 39 cases of thoracoscopic sympathicotomy at the third rib (R3), and 94 cases of thoracoscopic sympathicotomy at the fourth rib (R4) for palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis were compared for early and late post-operative satisfaction, compensatory sweating and recurrence. Results: There was no sex or age difference between groups. Early satisfaction was 94.9% and 98.9% in the R3 group and R4 group, respectively. There was no difference in early satisfaction (94.9% in R3 and 98.9% in R4), late satisfaction (84.6% in R3 and 89.4% in R4), or recurrence (17.9% in R3 and 17.0% in R4) between groups. There was significant difference in compensatory sweating (71.8% in R3 and 33% in R4, p=0.002). Conclusion: R4 sympathicotomy demonstrated superior efficacy in the treatment of compensatory sweating compared to R3 in palmar and/or axillary hyperhidrosis.

  • 배경: 국소적 다한증의 흉강경을 이용한 통상적인 흉부교감신경절제술이나 교감신경절차단술은 효과적인 치료법이기는 하나 수술 후 심한 보상성 다한증이 많이 발생 하고 수장부 다한증의 경우 수술 후 얼굴에서 땀이 나지 않는 부작용이 발생한다. 저자들은 기존의 수술법을 개량해 제한적 흉부교감신경절단술을 고안하였다. 본 연구는 제한적 교감신경절단술의 결과를 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1998년 5월부터 8월 까지 17명의 환자들에게 제한적 흉부교감신경절단술을 시행하였다. 9명의 안면부 다한증인 환자들에게 두 번째 교감신경절 위 아래의 교감신경을 절단하던 기존의 방법과는 달리 첫번째 와 두 번째 흉부교감신경절 사이의 신경절간신경만을 절단하였다. 8명의 수장부 다한증 환자에 대해서는 두 번째와 세 번째 흉부 교감신경절간신경을 절단하였다. 결과: 17명의 환자들 중 16명의 환자에서 수술 후 원하던 부위의 땀이 나지 않았으나 1명의 환자는 수술 1달 후 얼굴의 땀이 재발하였다. 안면부 다한증으로 수술을 받았던 9명의 환자들 보상성 다한증으로 4명이 심하게, 4명이 중등도로, 1명은 경미하게 불편을 호소 하였다. 그러나 수장부 다한증으로 수술을 받았던 8명의 환자들 중에서는 보상성 다한증을 3명에서 중등도로, 1명이 경미하게 호소하였으며 4명은 보상성 다한증이 없었다. 결론: 제한적 흉부교감신경절단술은 최소 침투 수술법으로 효과적인 치료법이며 특히 수장부 다한증에서는 수술 후 체간에서 발생하는 보상성 다한증의 발생을 줄이고 얼굴의 무한증을 막을 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • 배경: 다한증에 대한 흉부교감신경절제술은 흉강경기구 및 수술술기 발달로 효과적인 치료방법으로 인식되고 있으나 보상성 다한증으로 그 만족도가 떨어지고 있다. 따라서 저자들은 수술결과 및 보상성 다한증을 분석하고자 하였으며 수술전후 손과 발의 온도 차이 그리고 상지와 하지의 혈류량을 측정하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1995년 12월부터 1998년 7월까지 강남성모병원에서 총 47명의 다한증환자를 흉강경하에 교감신경절제술을 시행하였다. 수술전후로 손가락 및 발가락에서 온도변화를 측정하였고, 혈류량 측정은 도플러 초음파검사로 손가락동맥, 요골동맥, 그리고 족배동맥에서 측정하였다. 결과: 수술사망은 없었으며, 기흉 7건, 재발 3건, 안검하수 1건등의 합병증이 있었다. 보상성 다한증은 수술한 환자의 95%에서 있었으며 이중 5명이 수술을 후회하였다. 족부 다한증은 흉부교감신경절제술후 46%에서 향상되었고, 수술전후 온도변화는 우측 손에서 1$^{\circ}C$, 좌측 손에서 1.9$^{\circ}C$였고 통계적으로 의미있게 증가하였다. 그러나 족부 다한증에서는 의미있는 온도차이가 없었다. 혈류량은 손에서 의미있게 증가하였으나 발에서는 차이가 없었다. 결론: 다한증의 흉부 교감신경절제술은 안전하고 효과적인 치료이지만 그 만족도는 보상성 다한증에 의해 감소하고 있으므로 수술전에 보상성 다한증에 대하여 충분히 설명하는 것이 중요하다. 족부 다한증은 생리적 변화에 의한 것이라기 보다는 정신적 안정에 의한 것으로 보인다.

  • Back ground: The purpose of this study was to examine the patient's satisfaction of Sympathicotomy and clinical observation by Oriental medicine. Methods: We studied 93 hyperhidrosis patients after Sympathicotomy. They were treated on East-West Hyperhidrosis Clinic, Kyung Hee University Medical Center, from October 1999 to February 2002. Resurt and Conclusion: The most patients were satisfied with treatment effects of Sympathicotomy and there were few side effects. The only complain was compensatory sweating. Sympathicotomy can be recommended as a useful treatment for hyperhidrosis. Clinical study by Oriental medicine on hyperhidrosis patients was showed that hyperhidrosis could be observed at Taeeumin, Soyangin and Soeumin. We can find the new treatment of compensatory sweating, by Sasang Constitutional Medicine and Oriental diagnosis.
