Aretrospective study was conducted on 2200 cases of palmar hyperhidrosis who underwent bilateral sympathotomy during Jan 2003 and Jun 2013. The curative results were compared between two groups: the R 2 levels thoracic sympathotomy (Group A, include R 2 or R 2 -4) versus the preserving R2 thoracic sympathotomy (Group B, include R 3 or R 4 ). (1) All operations were successfully performed under thoracoscopic without conversion to thoracotomy, severe morbidity and mortality. (2) All patients with palmar hyperhidrosis were completely dried immediate after surgery. (3) Accompanied axillary sweating and plantar sweating were improved in 68% and 51% patients respectively. (4) Side-effect of compensatory sweating were observed in 77.5% patients of group A and 62.6% of group B (�? 2 = 4.84, p﹤0.05). (5) Endoscopic thoracic sympathotomy is an effective, safe and minimally invasive method for treatment of hyperhidrosis. (6) The method of preserving R2 (simple transaction of R3 or R4) in thoracic sympathotomy appears associated with less compensatory sweating.
