ABSTRACT

Abstract Hyperhidrosis (HH) is characterized by sweating exceeding the amount necessary to meet the thermal regulation and physiological needs of the body. Approximately 9.41% of individuals with HH have craniofacial hyperhidrosis (FH). The present study aims to review the most current data in the literature regarding craniofacial hyperhidrosis, including pathophysiology, diagnosis and clinical presentation, treatment options (clinical and surgical), and outcomes. VATS (videothoracoscopy sympathectomy) is considered the gold standard for definitive treatment of axillary or palmar hyperhidrosis. Recently, several studies have shown the usefulness of clinical treatment with oxybutynin hydrochloride, leading to clinical improvement of HH in more than 70% of users. Both clinical and surgical treatment of craniofacial hyperhidrosis have good results. However, surgical treatment of FH is associated with more complications. Clinical treatment with oxybutynin hydrochloride yields good results and can be the first therapeutic option. When the patient is not satisfied with this treatment and has good clinical conditions, surgical treatment can be used safely.


Resumo A hiperidrose (HH) é caracterizada por transpiração além da quantidade necessária para manter a regulação térmica e as necessidades fisiológicas do corpo. Aproximadamente 9,41% dos indivíduos com HH apresentam hiperidrose craniofacial (FH). Este estudo tem como objetivo revisar os dados mais atuais da literatura sobre FH, incluindo fisiopatologia, diagnóstico e apresentação clínica, opções de tratamento (clínico e cirúrgico) e desfechos. A simpatectomia por videotoracoscopia (VATS) é considerada o padrão-ouro para o tratamento definitivo da hiperidrose axilar ou palmar. Recentemente, vários estudos demonstraram a utilidade do tratamento clínico com cloridrato de oxibutinina, que leva à melhora clínica da HH em mais de 70% dos pacientes. O tratamento clínico e o cirúrgico apresentam bons resultados no tratamento da FH. No entanto, o tratamento cirúrgico da FH apresenta mais complicações. O tratamento clínico com cloridrato de oxibutinina fornece bons resultados e pode ser a primeira opção terapêutica. Quando o paciente não está satisfeito com esse tratamento e mostra boas condições clínicas, o tratamento cirúrgico pode ser usado com segurança.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: La hiperhidrosis palmar primaria es un problema médico frecuente. Minimizar la invasión, simplificar y estandarizar la técnica supone mejores resultados. Objetivo: Evaluar eficacia y seguridad con la aplicación de nuestra técnica simplificada y estandarizada, a través de su impacto en los resultados trans y postoperatorio para la hiperhidrosis palmar primaria (HPP). Materiales y Método: Se realiza estudio observacional que evalúa los resultados obtenidos con la aplicación de nuestra técnica estandarizada para el tratamiento de HPP. El universo está constituido por 359 pacientes intervenidos entre 2007 y 2011. El control hasta los 5 años fue posible en 298, los que constituyeron la muestra definitiva. Resultados: Se analizaron 298 pacientes (596 procedimientos). En el transoperatorio solo 3 pacientes (1%) presentaron alguna complicación. El manejo del dolor torácico fue la mayor dificultad inmediata a la cirugía, con 61,7% de dolor moderado y 15,2% severo. Último control a 5 años con curación en el 99,7% y una recidiva. Los índices de satisfacción se muestran en rango excelente según encuestas validadas. Manejo ambulatorio en 99%. Discusión: Aplicar intubación endotraqueal simple permite extrapolar ventajas ya conocidas de esta técnica y menos complicaciones respiratorias, suspensiones, uso de recursos costosos o personal muy calificado. La combinación de simplificar aspectos quirúrgicos y anestésicos permitieron estandarizar y simplificar nuestra técnica y con ello: no necesitar drenajes pleurales, menos dolor, recuperación casi inmediata de la fisiología respiratoria y alta precoz. Conclusión: Combinar el empleo de tubo endotraqueal simple y oxigenación apneíca con minimizar la invasión quirúrgica: puerto único, sin drenaje pleural y manejo ambulatorio constituyen una práctica segura para la simpatectomía torácica endoscópica, con mejores resultados postoperatorios, una vez logrado en entrenamiento necesario.


Introduction: Primary palmar hyperhidrosis is a frequent medical problem. Minimizing invasion, simplifying and standardizing technique means better results. Aim: To evaluate efficacy and safety with the application of our simplified and standardized technique, through its impact on trans and post-operative outcomes for primary palmar hyperhidrosis (PPH). Minimizing approach, simplifying and standardizing the technique should lead to better outcomes. Materials and Method: An observational study is carried out to evaluate the outcomes obtained with the application of our standardized technique for the treatment of PPH. The universe constituted by 359 patients treated between 2007 and 2011. Control up to 5 years was possible in 298, which constituted the definitive sample. Results: 298 patients (596 procedures) were analyzed. In the transoperative only 3 patients (1%) report minor complication. Thoracic pain management was the greatest difficulty immediate to surgery, with 61.7% moderate pain and 15.2% severe. Satisfaction indexes in excellent range according to validated surveys. Outpatient management in 99%. Discussion: Simple intubation avoids respiratory complications, suspensions, use of expensive resources or highly qualified personnel. Early pain relief, non-uses of pleural tubes or antibiotics allows rapid recovery and early discharge due to simplification and standardization of the technique. Conclusion: The use of simple endotraqueal tube and oxygenation in apnea, single port, without pleural drainage or antibiotics and ambulatory is a safe practice for endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy, once achieved in necessary training.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: la simpaticotomía videotoracoscópica es actualmente la técnica quirúrgica de elección en el tratamiento de la hiperhidrosis esencial o primaria. Sus ventajas relacionadas con su sencillez, menor posibilidades de complicaciones transoperatorias, un tiempo quirúrgico notablemente más corto y consecuentemente menor exposición a los agentes anestésicos, mejor relación riesgo/beneficio, mejor recuperación y la disminución de los efectos secundarios como el sudor compensatorio y el alto nivel de satisfacción de los pacientes, justifican su realización. Objetivo: analizar los resultados de la generalización de la simpaticotomía T3-T4 en el tratamiento de la hiperhidrosis palmar. Método: estudio de corte transversal, observacional y descriptivo de los pacientes intervenidos por videotoracoscopia, en el Centro Nacional de Cirugía de Mínimo Acceso con el diagnóstico de hiperhidrosis primaria palmar; a los cuales se les realizó simpaticotomía videotoracoscópica desde enero de 2011 hasta diciembre del 2015. En la evaluación de los pacientes se tienen en cuenta las variables aceptadas internacionalmente: curación, efectos secundarios, complicaciones y la mejoría psíquica dada por el nivel de satisfacción de los pacientes. Resultados: se logró un 97,69 por ciento de curación de la enfermedad. La sudoración compensatoria se presentó en 48,1 por ciento de los pacientes y el nivel de satisfacción fue de 97 por ciento, logrando una mejoría evidente del estado psicológico de los mismos. Conclusiones: la simpaticotomía videotoracoscópica T3-T4 es efectiva en el tratamiento de los pacientes afectos de hiperhidrosis palmar(AU)


Introduction: Videothoracoscopic sympathicotomy is currently the surgical technique of choice in the treatment of primary or essential hyperhidrosis. Its advantages related to its simplicity, fewer possibilities of transoperative complications, remarkably shorter surgical time and consequently less exposure to anesthetic agents, better risk / benefit ratio, better recovery, limited side effects such as compensatory sweat and high level of patient satisfaction support the performance of this procedure. Objective: To analyze the results of the generalization of the T3-T4 sympathicotomy in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis. Method: A cross-sectional, observational and descriptive study of patients with diagnosis of palmar primary hyperhidrosis, who underwent videothoracoscopic sympathicotomy at the National Center for Minimal Access Surgery from January 2011 to December 2015. The patient assessment took into account internationally accepted variables such as healing, side effects, complications and psychic improvement according to the level of satisfaction of the patients. Results: Recovery from disease reached 97.69 percent, compensatory sweating occurred in 48.1 percent of patients and the level of satisfaction was 97 percent, thus achieving clear improvement of the psychological state of patients.. Conclusions: Videothoracoscopic sympathicotomy T3-T4 is effective in the treatment of patients with palmar hyperhidrosis(AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract Palmar hyperhidrosis affects up to 3% of the population and inflict significant impact on quality of life. It is characterized by chronic excessive sweating, not related to the necessity of heat loss. It evolves from a localized hyperactivity of the sympathetic autonomic system and can be triggered by stressful events. In this study, the authors discuss clinical findings, pathophysiological, diagnostic and therapeutic issues (clinical and surgical) related to palmar hyperhidrosis.

ABSTRACT

A hiper-hidrose é uma condição caracterizada por excessiva sudorese, sobretudo das palmas das mãos e axilas. Pode ser primária ou secundária. A primária tem sido associada com a hiperatividade do sistema nervoso simpático. A hiper-hidrose pode ser tratada clinicamente ou por meio da simpatectomia. Paciente do sexo masculino, 28 anos, ajudante de obras. Vítima de agressão física por arma de fogo. Exame neurológico: desperto. Pupilas isocóricas e ECG 15. Paraplegia crural com nível sensitivo-motor T10. TC da coluna dorsal: fratura do corpo e lâminas de T8, com fragmentos metálicos no canal medular. Quatro meses após o trauma, procurou o ambulatório de Neurocirurgia para acompanhamento do quadro neurológico e referia que após dois meses do trauma apresentou hiper-hidrose axilar e palmar bilateral. Submetido a tratamento conservador, fisioterapia motora e respiratória. Encaminhado ao serviço de Psiquiatria, que referiu a hiper-hidrose como consequência de ansiedade, sendo prescrito antidepressivo tricíclico, mas sem melhora do quadro da hiper-hidrose. Foi encaminhado para tratamento com a dermatologia e a possibilidade de ser submetido à intervenção cirúrgica endoscópica. Até a presente data não retornou ao ambulatório de neurocirurgia. Dentre as complicações clínicas do TRM, a hiper-hidrose tem sido relatada em alguns casos. A produção de suor é afetada após o trauma por causa de uma alteração do sistema nervoso simpático. O tratamento com antidepressivos proporciona apenas alívio parcial e pode apresentar efeitos colaterais. A intervenção cirúrgica, embora passível de efeitos secundários, é um método minimamente invasivo e eficiente no tratamento da hiper-hidrose primária ou secundária.


Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating, especially of the hands palms and armpits. It may be primary or secondary. The primary has been associated with hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system. Hyperhidrosis can be treated medically or by sympathectomy. Patients, male patient, 28 years old, assistant works. Victim of physical assault by a firearm. Neurological exam: awake. Pupils isochoric and ECG 15. Crural paraplegia with sensory-motor level T10. CT of the spine: fracture of the blades and vertebral body T8, with metal fragments in the spinal canal. Four months after the trauma, came to the neurosurgery clinic for follow-up of the neurological status and stated that two months after the trauma had bilateral palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis. The patient underwent conservative treatment, physical and respiratory therapy. Referred to the Department of Psychiatry, where he was informed that the hyperhidrosis was a consequence of anxiety, and it was prescribed tricyclic antidepressant, but without hyperhidrosis cure. He was referred to dermatology for treatment and the possibility of undergoing surgery as the evolution of endoscopic. To date not returned to the clinic of neurosurgery. Among the clinical complications of SCI, hyperhidrosis has been reported in some cases. The production of sweat is affected after trauma due to a change in the sympathetic nervous system. Treatment with antidepressants provides only partial relief and can have side effects. Surgical intervention, although susceptible to side effects, is a minimally invasive and effective treatment of primary or secondary hyperhidrosis.

ABSTRACT

Hiperidrose é um distúrbio caracterizado pela secreção inapropriada e excessiva de suor. Sua etiologia pode ser primária (HP) ou idiopática e secundária (HS) a outras desordens e sua prevalência não é bem definida. Estabelecer a prevalência da hiperidrose na cidade de Botucatu- Brasil. Orientar os pacientes quanto à patologia e suas prováveis formas de tratamento e avaliar a qualidade de vida relacionada à HP. Foi realizado um inquérito populacional para identificar os casos de hiperidrose em indivíduos maiores de cinco anos, moradores na zona urbana da cidade de Botucatu, localizados por intermédio de amostragem sistemática de conglomerados. Foi calculado um número amostral de 4.033 participantes, utilizando-se os mapas censitários da cidade; a seguir, foram sorteadas quadras de cada setor para obter-se os domicílios. Dez entrevistadores previamente treinados foram responsáveis por aplicar um questionário que avaliou a presença de sudorese excessiva. Após análise dos questionários os indivíduos que referiram hiperidrose foram entrevistados por um médico para confirmação ou não do diagnóstico. Todos os indivíduos foram orientados e, caso houvesse indicação, o tratamento foi oferecido. Foram visitados 1.351 domicílios totalizando 4.113 moradores, sendo 2.150 (52,3%) do gênero feminino. A idade variou de cinco a 97 anos (média ± DP = 38,3 ± 21,2). Oitenta e cinco indivíduos (2,07%) queixavam-se de suor excessivo, sendo 51 (60%) do gênero feminino com idade variando de cinco a 72 anos (média ± DP = 33,9 ± 17,3). O efeito psicossocial mais frequente devido à sudorese foi o constrangimento, e o fator predisponente mais frequente foi o nervosismo. Cinquenta e um indivíduos (60%) concordaram em receber a visita médica para a confirmação do diagnóstico...


The hyperhidrosis is characterized by the excessive sweating and its etiology can be primary or idiopathic (PH) and secondary (SH) to other diseases but its prevalence is not well defined. To establish the PH prevalence in the city of Botucatu- Brazil. To perform orientation related to the pathology and its probable forms of treatment and evaluate the quality of life related to PH. A population survey was performed in order to identify the cases of hyperhidrosis in individuals aged over five years, residents in Botucatu urban area and selected by cluster systematic sampling. A sample number of 4,033 participants was calculated using the Census maps from the city and a selection of blocks in each sector was carried out in order to obtain the households. Ten previously trained interviewers were responsible for applying a questionnaire that evaluated the presence of excessive sweating. After the questionnaires analysis the individuals that referred hyperhidrosis were interviewed by a physician in order to confirm the diagnosis. All subjects were instructed and the treatment was offered in case of indication. 1,351 households were surveyed with a total of 4,113 residents, in which 2,150 (52.3%) were female. The age ranged from five to 97 years (average ± MD = 38.3 ± 21.2). Eighty-five individuals complained about excessive sweating (2.07% prevalence); 51 female (60%), anging from five to 72 years (average ± MD = 33.9 ± 17.3). The most frequent psychosocial effect related to excessive sweating was the embarrassment whereas the most frequent predisposing factor was nervousness. Fifty-one individuals (60%) agreed to receive medical evaluation in order to confirm the diagnosis. Twenty-three (45%) had PH (0.93% prevalence), 15 (29.4%) had SH caused by obesity as well as menopause or thyroid disorder and 13 (25.5%) individuals had normal sweating...

ABSTRACT

Hiperidrose palmar idiopática é doença frequente, que tem grande impacto na qualidade de vida dos pacientes, e seu tratamento definitivo (simpatectomia) associa-se a risco cirúrgico e efeitos adversos. Fármacos, como onabotulinumtoxinA, podem ser veiculados percutaneamente por iontoforese ou fonoforese e contribuir no tratamento da hiperidrose. Os autores apresentam quatro casos em que houve melhora objetiva e subjetiva da sudorese após dez sessões consecutivas de iontoforese ou fonoforese, sem evidências de efeitos adversos. Os resultados clínicos mantiveram-se por 16 semanas de observação após a interrupção do tratamento. Técnicas de veiculação percutânea de medicamentos devem ser percebidas como opções nos tratamentos dermatológicos.


Idiopathic palmar hyperhidrosis is a common disease that exerts a considerable effect on patients' quality of life. The definitive treatment of this condition (sympathectomy) is associated with some adverse effects and surgical risks. Drugs such as onabotulinumtoxinA can be percutaneously delivered by phonophoresis or by iontophoresis and may be useful in the treatment of hyperhidrosis. In this paper, the authors describe four cases in which an objective and subjective improvement in sweating was seen following 10 daily sessions of phonophoresis or iontophoresis. No adverse effects were reported. The clinical results achieved with treatment were maintained over 16 weeks of follow-up after the end of treatment. Percutaneous drug delivery techniques should be perceived as an option for the treatment of dermatologic conditions.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Video-assisted thoracic sympathectomy is currently the procedure of choice for the definitive treatment of primary hyperhidrosis, because it is an effective, safe, and minimally invasive method. In the search for better quality of life indexes, all researchers look for predictive factors indicating better surgical outcomes. Failure in the primary treatment, postoperative compensatory hyperhidrosis, body mass index over 25, level of resection of the sympathetic chain, and extent of resection are some of the factors that may negatively influence the results. The objective of this study was to compare, according to the age group, the quality of life after bilateral thoracic sympathectomy for treatment of primary hyperhidrosis in a cohort of 1,644 patients. METHODS: From February 2000 to October 2008, data were collected from 1,644 patients with palmar (71 percent) or axillary (29 percent) hyperhidrosis who underwent video-assisted thoracic sympathectomy. The patients were divided into three groups according to their ages. The first group consisted of patients up to 17 years-old, the second from 18 to 30 years-old, and the third of over 30 years-old. All patients had a body mass index of less than 25. RESULTS: In the evaluation 30 days after surgery, improvement of the quality of life in the three groups was observed. There was no significant difference between the age groups. In the present study, 91.9 percent of the patients presented compensatory hyperhidrosis, with no difference between the age groups. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with primary hyperhidrosis experience quality of life improvement after thoracic sympathectomy regardless of their age.


OBJETIVO: A simpatectomia torácica por videotoracoscopia é atualmente o procedimento de escolha para o tratamento definitivo da hiper-hidrose palmar, pois é um método eficaz, seguro e minimamente invasivo. Na busca de melhores índices de qualidade de vida, os pesquisadores procuram por fatores preditivos de bom resultado cirúrgico. A falência do tratamento inicial, a hiper-hidrose compensatória, o índice de massa corpóreo acima de 25, o nível de ressecção ganglionar e a extensão da ressecção são alguns dos fatores que podem influenciar negativamente os resultados. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes submetidos à simpatectomia torácica, de acordo com a faixa etária, numa coorte com 1.644 pacientes. MÉTODOS: De fevereiro de 2000 a outubro de 2008, foram colhidos dados de 1.644 pacientes portadores de hiper-hidrose palmar (71 por cento) ou axilar (29 por cento), submetidos à simpatectomia torácica por videotoracoscopia. Os pacientes foram divididos em três grupos de acordo com a idade. O primeiro grupo foi de pacientes com até 17 anos, o segundo de 18 a 30 anos, e o terceiro com pacientes com mais de 30 anos de idade. Todos os pacientes tinham índice de massa corpóreo menor que 25. RESULTADOS: Numa avaliação 30 dias após o procedimento, a melhora da qualidade de vida foi obtida nos três grupos. Não houve diferença estatística entre as diferentes faixas etárias. Neste estudo, 91,9 por cento dos pacientes apresentaram algum grau de hiper-hidrose compensatória, novamente sem diferença entre os grupos. CONCLUSÕES: Pacientes portadores de hiper-hidrose primária apresentam melhora da qualidade de vida após o procedimento cirúrgico independentemente de sua idade.

ABSTRACT

Durante la adolescencia se producen cambios importantes en la piel que son motivo de consulta frecuente al especialista. Estos son producidos por múltiples factores, dentro de los cuales están los hormonales, inmunológicos, psicológicos y los psicosociales. Las dermatosis más frecuentes son: el acné, en sus distintas formas clínicas, que afecta a más del 90 por ciento de los adolescentes en distintos grados de severidad; la dermatitis seborreica; las alopecias no cicatriciales; hiperhidrosis y dishidrosis. Además, este grupo etáreo está presentando con mayor frecuencia complicaciones cutáneas por realizar arte corporal (perforaciones, tatuajes, entre otros). Estas dermatosis deben ser conocidas por los médicos generales y especialistas, porque los adolescentes son una población muy vulnerable psicológicamente y muchas de estas enfermedades van en detrimento de su calidad de vida. Las enfermedades cutáneas infecciosas (virales, bacterianas y parasitarias) que también comprometen a los adolescentes se analizarán en el capítulo sobre Infecciones Cutáneas.


Adolescent skin undergoes significant changes that may lead to frequent specialized consultation. These changes can be due to a number of factors such as physiological, hormonal and psychosocial changes. The most common skin diseases are acne in its various clinical forms which is suffered by over 90 per cent of teenagers at different levels of severity, seborreic dermatitis, non scarring alopecia, hyperhydrosis and dishydrosis and the skin complications originated by Body Art (tattooing, piercing, scarring andbranding), that are on the increase in this age group. General practitioners and specialist should be aware ofthese skin conditions since teenagers are psychologically vulnerable and many of these diseases have a negative effect on their lives. The infectious skin diseases (viral, bacterial an parasitic) which also affect adolescent will be reviewed in the Chapter related to skin infections.

ABSTRACT

La hiperhidrosis es la producción excesiva de sudor que supera al fisiológicamente necesario para regular la temperatura corporal. Suele ser idiopática y afectar la vida social y laboral de quienes la padecen, siendo la localización palmar la forma más frecuente y problemática. Su diagnóstico es eminentemente clínico y el abordaje terapéutico depende de su localización y de la repercusión que tenga en la vida del paciente. La primera línea de abordaje consiste en el tratamiento tópico con antitranspirantes que contengan hipoclorito de aluminio, reservándose para formas más graves la iontoféresis, los fármacos anticolinérgicos, la toxina botulínica y la simpatectomía. Al final de este artículo se presenta una viñeta clínica de un paciente que plantea una duda de manejo, así como la estrategia utilizada para resolverla.

ABSTRACT

Una paciente que sufre de hiperhidrosis palmar y plantar con pobre respuesta a tratamientos previos, y que consulta por la posibilidad del uso de la toxina botulínica. Se confecciona una pregunta en formato PICO, se realiza una búsqueda en la literatura para intentar contestarla, y se eligen dos ensayos clínicos aleatorizados que evalúan el tema. Se concluye que la toxina botulínica puede ser efectiva cuando no hay respuesta a tratamientos previos, aunque es costosa y su efecto suele ser reversible.

ABSTRACT

Com o objetivo de se estabelecer diretrizes para a prevenção, o diagnóstico e o tratamento da hiperidrose compensatória, foram realizadas reuniões consensuais com a participação de cirurgiões torácicos filiados à Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Torácica e um cirurgião geral em que foram abordados tópicos de modo a abranger conhecimentos multidisciplinares. A partir de textos recentes com diretrizes para a prevenção, o diagnóstico e tratamento (clínico e cirúrgico) da hiperidrose compensatória, e baseados em revisão bibliográfica, os participantes elaboraram um texto preliminar, cujas recomendações foram submetidas à aprovação dos participantes, possibilitando uma revisão geral do texto final. Deste modo, obteve-se um texto básico que, veiculado pela internet, tornou-se objeto de novas correções e revisões até alcançar a forma final atual.


With the objective of establishing guidelines for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of compensatory hyperhidrosis, consensus meetings were held. Attendees included a general surgeon and thoracic surgeons affiliated with the Brazilian Society of Thoracic Surgery. The topics addressed were those that would ostensibly broaden multidisciplinary knowledge. Based on recent guidelines for the prevention, diagnosis and (clinical and surgical) treatment of compensatory hyperhidrosis, as well as on a review of the medical literature, the participants prepared a preliminary text, whose recommendations were revised and subsequently approved by all of the participants. The consensus text was posted on the Internet, becoming the object of further corrections and revisions prior to taking on its present form.

ABSTRACT

Treatment modalities in palmoplantar hyperhydrosis [PPH] are limited to iontophoresis and topical application of aluminium chloride salts that the latter complicated by irritant dermatitis. We have evaluated the efficacy of Salvia officinalis [Sage] 5% Lotion in treatment of PPH. Sage is a native plant in the Middle East that is cheap and freely available. This is a prospective, randomized and double-blind clinical trial. The patients with severe and symmetrical PPH were treated with topical application of Sage Lotion on the one side and placebo on the other side of the body, three times a day. The patients visited at two weeks intervals until six weeks. The overall treatment response was estimated subjectively by the patients. 35 patients were involved in this study. Both drug and placebo reduced the severity of PPH. Reduction with the drug was significantly greater than with the placebo. Mean of successful treatment percent in drug treated side, after 2, 4 and 6 weeks were 29.7%, 33.2% and 37% respectively versus in placebo treated side were 13.6%, 14.5% and 14.8% [P<0.001].

ABSTRACT

La hiperhidrosis es un trastorno primario caracterizado por la sudación excesiva y afecta con mayor frecuencia las palmas de las manos. Puede tomar además la cara, las axilas, las regiones inguinales, las plantas de los pies o cualquier otra región del cuerpo. Se recoge una incidencia del 0,6 por ciento al 1 por ciento en la población occidental, pero puede llegar al 4 por ciento en los países subtropicales. En Cuba no existen estudios al respecto. La enfermedad se puede clasificar topográficamente como generalizada o simétrica cuando afecta una región bien definida del cuerpo y asimétrica cuando toma una zona no bien definida. Se relizaron las primeras 5 intervenciones quirúrgicas en Cuba de pacientes con hiperhidrosis severa refractaria a tratamiento médico. La técnica utilizada fue la simpaticotomía preganglionar desde T-2 hasta T-4. Se obtuvo un 90 por ciento de curacióncon dicha técnica(AU)
