Abstract
A new technique of video-assisted thoracic sympathectomy through retrosternal pulmonary junction can be done safely using a scope guide and a flexible scope. Bilateral thoracic sympathectomy was performed, employing a single skin incision, in 18 patients with palmar hyperhidrosis. The advantages include minimal neuralgia and superior cosmesis.
