Abstract
Primary focal hyperhidrosis (HH) is a disorder consisting of sweating in excess of that required for thermoregulation and affects 3 out of 100 people in the general population. It is considered a disease with a high impact on quality of life. Pathophysiology involves the hypothalamic-autonomic nervous system axis. Throughout history, multiple medical and surgical therapies have been described with variable results. The literature shows a gap in knowledge about thoracic sympathectomy and its usefulness in the context of HH. To improve the quality of life of these patients, we carried out a careful review of the currently available literature, finding that ST is a safe and effective procedure, with high rates of success and satisfaction in these patients.
