Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Primary hyperhidrosis is a condition of excessive sweating that severely limits a person's social life. We aimed to investigate factors affecting the quality of life and patient satisfaction in patients undergoing videothoracoscopic sympathectomy for palmo-axillary hyperhidrosis. METHODS: We evaluated 126 patients who underwent videothoracoscopic sympathectomy for primary palmo-axillary hyperhidrosis. The data were analyzed retrospectively in terms of postoperative complications and factors affecting the quality of life. RESULTS: A total of 251 videothoracoscopic sympathectomy operations were performed, 53.2% (n:67) of the patients were female and 46.8% (n:59) were male. The mean age was 24.3±7 (min-max:15-51), whereas the mean body mass index was 23.5±4 (min-max:16.9-34.9). The mean length of hospital stay was 1.3±0.9 days (Min-Max: 1-6). Complications were observed in a total of 13 (10.3%) patients. The most common complication was pneumothorax (n:10). Compensatory hyperhidrosis was observed in 23 patients (18.3%). A significant correlation was detected between compensatory hyperhidrosis and patient satisfaction (p

胸腔镜交感神经切除术治疗掌腋多汗症的疗效:生活质量改变及患者满意度

原发性多汗症是一种出汗过多的疾病，严重限制了一个人的社交生活。我们的目的是探讨影响胸腔镜下交感神经切除术治疗掌腋多汗症患者生活质量和患者满意度的因素。方法:我们评估了126例接受胸腔镜交感神经切除术治疗原发性掌腋多汗症的患者。回顾性分析术后并发症及影响患者生活质量的因素。结果:共行251例胸腔镜交感神经切除术，其中女性占53.2%(67例)，男性占46.8%(59例)。平均年龄24.3±7岁(min-max:15 ~ 51岁)，平均体重指数23.5±4 (min-max:16.9 ~ 34.9)。平均住院时间1.3±0.9 d (Min-Max: 1 ~ 6)。并发症13例(10.3%)。最常见的并发症是气胸(10例)。代偿性多汗症23例(18.3%)。代偿性多汗症与患者满意度之间存在显著相关性(p
