Surgical treatment of hyperhidrosis
Tratamiento quirúrgico de la hiperhidrosis
Resumen:
Essential hyperhidrosis syndrome of the upper limbs is a rare disease, which usually brings forth an important social or laboral impediment. It may perhaps be due to an increase in sympathetic tone, sometimes on a psychosomatic basis. In 2 of the reported cases, it had a familial character. Medical treatment -with anticholinergics- usually has a relative success andundesirable side-effects. Consequently, sympathetic denervation of the upper extremity is preferred. The authors have performed it at pre-ganglionar level, by resection of the 2nd. and 3rd. thoracic ganglia. They used Smithwick's posterior extrapleural approach, Results were very good in the 6 operated patients, and there were no relapses in the series.
El síndrome de hiperhidrosis esencial de los miembros superiores es una afección rara., que supone habitualmente un impedimento laboral o social importante. Se trata tal vez de una hipersimpaticotoníaa veces de base sicosomática, y que en 2 de las observaciones relatadas, tenía un carácter familiar. El tratamiento médico -a base de anticolinérgicos- suele ser de éxito relativo y con efectos secundarios molestos. Por ello se prefiere la denervación simpática elel miembro superior que los autores realizan a nivel preganglionar, por resección del 2" y 3er. ganglios torácicos. Utilizan el abordaje extra.pleural llosterior ele Smithwick. Los resultados fueron muy buenos en los 6 enfermos operados y no hubo ninguna recidiva en la serie.
