dc.description.abstractAim: This study presents the outcomes and patient satisfaction after endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) applied to patients unresponsive to medical treatment. Material and Methods: Sixty-one patients who underwent ETS for axillary/palmar hyperhidrosis from June 2010 to June 2019 were retrospectively evaluated. Data were collected from patient charts and files. Patient satisfaction and preoperative and postoperative changes in patient's social lives were assessed over the phone. Results: The mean age of the included 61 patients was 23.2 +/- 5.63 years, the mean length of the postoperative follow-up period was 27.3 months. Moderate-severe compensatory hyperhidrosis was observed in 2 patients. A significant majority of patients were satisfied with the surgery and they stated that would recommend it to others. The loss of self-confidence in the preoperative period was significantly restored in the postoperative period. Discussion: ETS with the incision of the sympathetic chain at the T3-T4 level is associated with significant reductions in pain severity and compensatory hyperhidrosis and with significant patient satisfaction in the postoperative period. It should always be remembered that the likelihood of developing compensatory hyperhidrosis is high in patients over 30 years of age and that it occurs after the first postoperative month.en_US
