Adverse effects, including compensatory sweating, may cause patients to regret surgery. Such adverse events are currently unpredictable. This study investigated whether age, sex or bodyweight influenced the outcome.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 110 patients who had bilateral ETS for palmar hyperhidrosis or facial symptoms (blushing or sweating) were asked to complete a questionnaire before and after surgery regarding physical and emotional symptoms, and overall satisfaction.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Seventy-nine useable questionnaires were obtained. A decrease (an improvement) in physical symptom score was found in all patients; the median (interquartile range) change was \u2212 15 (\u22129 to \u2212 18) for facial symptoms and \u2212 8 (\u22126\u00b775 to \u2212 9) for palmar symptoms. Similarly, there was an improvement in emotional symptom score of \u2212 16 (\u22128 to \u2212 28) for facial symptoms and \u2212 13 (\u22127\u00b725 to \u2212 18\u00b75) for palmar symptoms. More compensatory sweating was noted in those treated for facial symptoms (P = 0\u00b7007).
