Abstract

Thoracoscopic sympathectomy is a procedure for the treatment of palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis. This technique offers less pain and an earlier return to work than other surgical treatments. A 39-year-old male was admitted to hospital with palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis. We performed thoracoscopic sympathectomy bilaterally. Massive haemothorax due to aortic injury occured and was treated intraoperatively.
