Subang Jaya Medical Centre's Heart, Vascular, and Thoracic Department offer VATS Sympathectomy as a minimally invasive surgical procedure to address hyperhidrosis, commonly known as excessive sweating. This procedure aims to interrupt the overactive sympathetic nerves responsible for triggering excessive sweat production, providing long-lasting relief for individuals suffering from this condition.
VATS Sympathectomy involves using a thoracoscope and specialised instruments inserted through small incisions in the chest. The thoracoscope provides high-definition visualisation of the targeted sympathetic nerves, allowing the surgeon to locate and interrupt them precisely. By disrupting the nerve signals, the procedure effectively reduces excessive sweating in the treated areas.
1. Effective Hyperhidrosis Treatment: VATS Sympathectomy has proven to be an effective treatment option, relieving excessive sweating in areas such as the palms, armpits, face, or feet.
2. Minimally Invasive Approach: With VATS Sympathectomy, small incisions are made, resulting in minimal scarring, reduced postoperative pain, and faster recovery than traditional open surgical techniques.
3. Improved Quality of Life: Excessive sweating can significantly impact an individual's social and emotional well-being. VATS Sympathectomy can restore confidence, enhance personal interactions, and improve the overall quality of life for individuals affected by hyperhidrosis.
