lüll Guidelines on surgery of the thoracic sympathetic nervous system Moreno Balsalobre R; Moreno Mata N; Ramos Izquierdo R; Aragon Valverde FJ; Molins Lopez-Rodo L; Rivas de Andres JJ; Garcia Fernandez JL; Canizares Carretero MA; Congregado Loscertales M; Carbajo Carbajo MArch Bronconeumol 2011[Feb]; 47 (2): 94-102Thoracic sympathetic nervous system (TSNS) surgery has increased in importance in the last few years, generating great expectations among the general population and the scientific community. This has been due to the excellent results obtained by videothoracoscopy-assisted thoracic sympathectomy in the treatment of essential hyperhidrosis and other TSNS disorders. This minimally invasive surgical technique has been shown to be effective, and with a low morbidity it is accepted as one of the best therapeutic options for the treatment of palmar and bilateral axillary hyperhidrosis and the number of patients consulting with the intention of having the operation has increased considerably. Although compensatory sweating, which is occasionally intense, often occurs after the surgery, this and other secondary effects of the technique are well tolerated by patients. The current evidence on TSNS and the treatment of essential hyperhidrosis is based on observational studies, making it difficult to compare series and draw conclusions. There has been much discussion on standardising the technique, defining the most favourable levels for clipping, and choosing the type of denervation with least secondary effects. This has led to the need to draw up these guidelines which should clarify and standardise the criteria for managing patients with disorders of TSNS.|Autonomic Nervous System Diseases/*surgery[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hyperhidrosis/therapy[MESH]|Neurosurgical Procedures/methods[MESH]|Sympathetic Nervous System/*surgery[MESH]|Thorax[MESH] |
