Vinh International Hospital: Eliminate the worry of hyperhidrosis syndrome

(Baonghean) - Previously, cases of hyperhidrosis requiring endoscopic surgery could only be treated at central hospitals. Since its establishment, Vinh International Hospital has successfully implemented the method of treating the disease by endoscopic thoracic sympathetic ganglionectomy at a reasonable cost. This is one of the pioneering medical units in Nghe An to apply this new technique in treatment and is being performed routinely at the hospital.

Sweat has the role of cooling the body and helping to excrete some waste through the pores. However, when the sweat on the body flows above the necessary physiological level, at least once a week and significantly affects daily life and work, both physically and mentally, it is a sign of increased sweating of the hands.

Vinh International Hospital has successfully implemented the treatment method of thoracic sympathectomy by endoscopic surgery.

Mr. Nham Sy T, 34 years old, started to have hyperhidrosis in his adult life. This affected his life and activities, especially driving, causing him difficulty. After a clinical examination, the patient's hands showed signs of moisture. The doctor performed a test by pressing both hands on a piece of blotting paper, the sweat wetted, leaving a hand shape on the paper. The patient was diagnosed with grade II hyperhidrosis and wetting the paper and the doctor treated him with endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy.

The patient's hands sweat a lot.

After surgery, the patient's health condition recovered well, just one day after surgery the patient's hand was dry and he could be discharged. With this method, the condition of sweating hands and armpits is completely resolved, but there is a rate of compensatory sweating in other parts of the body, this rate will gradually decrease over time.

Blotting paper test according to the level of palmar hyperhidrosis.

Previously, endoscopic surgery has not been applied in the treatment of hyperhidrosis. Patients are often prescribed to reduce sweating with sympathomimetic drugs and some other drugs or Iontophosis therapy (electrolysis), Laser... but the effect is only temporary, when treatment is stopped, the disease recurs.

For surgical methods, doctors have long used hot water injections to destroy sympathetic nerve ganglia, but many times the spread of heat cannot be controlled, so other organs near the ganglia are also damaged and the results are limited. Open surgery is an invasive method that is no longer applied. The endoscopic method of sympathectomy is considered a new advancement in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis, helping to completely cure the disease.

Doctor CKII Luong Tu Hai Thanh - Vinh International Hospital said: "With the endoscopic surgery method with the help of cameras, doctors can clearly observe on the screen: high magnification, close access, minimal invasion, shortening surgery time, less pain, minimal incisions, shortening treatment time, reducing the risk of infection. Patients recover quickly, meeting aesthetic standards. When there are obstacles from the condition of increased sweating of the hands, patients should go to a medical facility for consultation, diagnosis of the cause and appropriate treatment methods."
