Compensatory sweating occurred in 40 patients (44 per cent), postsympathectomy neuralgia in 38 (42 per cent) and one man suffered temporary loss of ejaculation. A total of 86 patients (96 per cent) were very, or partly, satisfied with the result, and 83 (92 per cent) would have the procedure repeated if required.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Endoscopic lumbar sympathectomy was a safe and effective option for patients with severe plantar hyperhidrosis.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.6729","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,13]],"date-time":"2009-11-13T14:13:24Z","timestamp":1258121604000},"page":"1422-1428","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Endoscopic lumbar sympathectomy for plantar hyperhidrosis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"96","author":[{"given":"R","family":"Rieger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Landeskrankenhaus Gmunden, Miller von Aichholzstrasse 49, 4810 Gmunden, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Pedevilla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Landeskrankenhaus Gmunden, Miller von Aichholzstrasse 49, 4810 Gmunden, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S","family":"P\u00f6chlauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Landeskrankenhaus Gmunden, Miller von Aichholzstrasse 49, 4810 Gmunden, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021070910364782400_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"657","DOI":"10.4065\/80.5.657","article-title":"Hyperhidrosis: evolving therapies for a well-established phenomenon","volume":"80","author":"Eisenach","year":"2005","journal-title":"Mayo Clin Proc"},{"key":"2021070910364782400_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"267","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2008.10.028","article-title":"Primary palmoplantar hyperhidrosis and thoracoscopic sympathectomy: a new objective assesment method","volume":"87","author":"Tetteh","year":"2009","journal-title":"Ann Thorac Surg"},{"key":"2021070910364782400_bib3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"274","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2003.12.029","article-title":"Recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of primary focal hyperhidrosis","volume":"51","author":"Hornberger","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Am Acad Dermatol"},{"key":"2021070910364782400_bib4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"279","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800780306","article-title":"Surgical management of primary hyperhidrosis","volume":"78","author":"Moran","year":"1991","journal-title":"Br J Surg"},{"key":"2021070910364782400_bib5","first-page":"111","article-title":"Resection partielle du tronc sympathique cervical droit pour hyperhidrose unilaterale","volume":"40","author":"Kotzareff","year":"1920","journal-title":"Rev Med Suisse Rom"},{"key":"2021070910364782400_bib6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"668","DOI":"10.1001\/archsurg.1987.01400180050009","article-title":"Sympathectomy for causalgia.
