The most common side effect of thoracoscopic sympathectomy is compensatory truncal hyperhidrosis (sweating on the chest and/or back). This is a shifting of sweating from the palms and soles to the trunk and may be the body's natural way of compensating. In the majority of cases, the degree of sweating is mild. Most patients agree that the side effects are minor in comparison to having excessive sweating hands. In Dr. Baumgartner's experience, approximately 0.5% of patients experienced severe compensatory truncal hyperhidrosis. The majority of patients, however, responded well to a medical treatment.
