- Changes in the quality of life following surgery for hyperhidrosis(2021) PATRINI, D.; BUJOREANU, I.; LAMPRIDIS, S.; CAMPOS, J. R. Milanez de; BEDETTI, B.; FONSECA, H. V. Sampaio da; LAWRENCE, D.; KAUFFMAN, P.; WOLOSKER, N.Hyperhidrosis is characterized by diaphoresis that is unrelated to the physiological thermo-regulatory requirements of the body. Primary hyperhidrosis is caused by an idiopathic overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system and can affect the axillae, in more than half of the cases, palms, soles and face. As a result, patients may develop psychologic disorders, such as anxiety and depression, or experience impaired quality of life (QOL). Set of indicators were therefore introduced to describe the relationship between QOL post-surgery for hyperhidrosis and daily life. Recently a World Health Organization study group developed a questionnaire made of 100 question ranging from physical, psychological, environmental and spiritual aspects (WHOQOL0-100); this has been followed by a shorter one (WHOQOL BREF) easier to be completed maintaining the same standard of psychometric assessment. This is made of 26 questions covering the same aspects as the WHOQOL-100 representing however a generic tool to assess QOL. Nevertheless there are other QOL indicators that have to be considered when assessing the impact of primary hyperhidrosis (PH) and postoperative status following surgery for PH. © Shanghai Chest.

- Expression of Acetylcholine and Its Receptor in Human Sympathetic Ganglia in Primary Hyperhidrosis(2013) MOURA JUNIOR, Nabor B. de; DAS-NEVES-PEREIRA, Joao C.; OLIVEIRA, Flavio R. G. de; JATENE, Fabio B.; PARRA, Edwin R.; CAPELOZZI, Vera L.; WOLOSKER, Nelson; CAMPOS, Jose R. M. deBackground. The pathophysiologic characteristics of primary hyperhidrosis are not well understood and seem to be related to a sympathetic nervous system dysfunction. The resection of thoracic sympathetic chain ganglia is the most effective treatment for hyperhidrosis; however sympathetic ganglia function in normal individuals and in patients with hyperhidrosis is unknown. Methods. A cross-sectional study, in which 2 groups of 20 subjects were analyzed: the hyperhidrosis group (HYP), comprised of patients with hyperhidrosis who were eligible for thoracic sympathectomy, and the control group (CON) comprised of brain-dead organ donors without a history of hyperhidrosis. For each subject, the following were performed: resection of the third left sympathetic ganglion, measurement of the ganglion's diameter, and immunohistochemical evaluation by quantification of strong and weak expression areas of primary antibodies against acetylcholine and alpha-7 neuronal nicotinic receptor subunit. Results. The presence of a strong alpha-7 subunit expression area was 4.85% in patients with primary hyperhidrosis and 2.34% in controls (p < 0.001), whereas the presence of a weak expression area was 11.48% in the HYP group and 4.59% in the CON group (p < 0.001). Strong acetylcholine expression was found in 4.95% of the total area in the HYP group and in 1.19% in the CON group (p < 0.001), whereas weak expression was found in 18.55% and 6.77% of the HYP and CON groups, respectively (p < 0.001). Furthermore, diameter of the ganglia was 0.71 cm in the HYP group and 0.53 cm in the CON group (p < 0.001). Conclusions. There is a higher expression of acetylcholine and alpha-7 neuronal nicotinic receptor subunit in the sympathetic ganglia of patients with hyperhidrosis. Furthermore, the diameter of the thoracic sympathetic chain ganglia is larger in such patients. (Ann Thorac Surg 2013;95:465-71) (c) 2013 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons
- Long-term Results of the Use of Oxybutynin for the Treatment of Axillary Hyperhidrosis(2014) WOLOSKER, Nelson; TEIVELIS, Marcelo Passos; KRUTMAN, Mariana; PAULA, Rafael Pessanha de; KAUFFMAN, Paulo; CAMPOS, Jose Ribas M. de; PUECH-LEAO, PedroBackground: Axillary hyperhidrosis (AH) is a common disease, with a significant impact on quality of life (QOL). Good short-term results are reported with oxybutynin, but longer follow-up data are lacking. We evaluated its effectiveness in a large series of patients who were not surgically treated and who had at least 6 months of follow-up. Methods: From September 2007 to September 2013, 431 consecutive patients were enrolled in ""pharmacological first"" protocol for treatment of AH with oxybutynin. Thirty-four patients were lost to follow-up, and data are available for 397 patients treated for at least 6 weeks. Data at the start of the protocol, 6 weeks after beginning treatment, and at final visit were analyzed. Results: One hundred fourteen patients (28.7%) did not improve and were referred for surgery (sympathectomy). Eight patients (2.01%) presented significant side effects (e.g. dry mouth) and discontinued therapy. Twenty-six patients. (9.4%) preferred surgery over pharmacologic treatment. Sixty-two patients have not yet been under treatment for 6 months. The 181 patients with more than 6 months of follow-up (median: 17 months, range: 6-72) were analyzed as follows: 82.9% of patients presented moderate or great improvement in AH and 89% of patients presented improvement in other sites of hyperhidrosis after a median of 17 months. Conclusions: In patients with good initial response to oxybutynin, >80% presented moderate or great improvement in axillary and in other sites of excessive sweating. Results were particularly better in women and those who presented better QOL after 6 weeks.
- Morphometric Analysis of Thoracic Ganglion Neurons in Subjects with and without Primary Palmar Hyperhidrosis(2014) OLIVEIRA, Flavio Roberto Garbelini de; MOURA JR., Nabor B.; CAMPOS, Jose Ribas M. de; WOLOSKER, Nelson; PARRA, Edwin R.; CAPELOZZI, Vera L.; PEGO-FERNANDES, PauloBackground: Hyperhidrosis (HH) is a disease whose physiopathology remains poorly understood and that adversely affects quality of life. There is no morphologic study that includes an adequate control group that allows for comparison of the ganglion of HH to those of normal individuals. The purpose of study was to analyze morphologic and morphometric characteristics of the ganglion from patients with HH and normal individuals (organ donators). Methods: This was a transversal study. The sympathetic thoracic ganglia were obtained from 2 groups of patients. Group PH (palmar hyperhidrosis), 40 patients with palmar HH submitted to surgery by video-assisted thoracoscopy, and group C (control group), 14 deceased individuals (control group of organ donators) without any history of HH. The third left sympathetic thoracic ganglion was resected in all patients. Results: We observed higher number of cells in the PH group than in the control group (14.25 + 3.81 vs. 10.65 + 4.93) with P = 0.007; the mean percentage of ganglion cells stained by caspases-3 in the PH group was significantly greater than that of the C group (2.37 + 0.79 vs. 0.77 + 0.28) with P < 0.001; the mean value of area of collagen in the PH group was 0.80 IQ (0.08-1.87), and in the control group it was 2.36 IQ (0.49-5.98) with P = 0.061. Conclusions: Subjects with primary palmar HH have a higher number of ganglion cells within the ganglion and a higher number of cells in apoptosis. Also, the subjects of PH group have less collagen in the sympathetic ganglion when compared with the control group, but not statistically significant.
- Nationwide Cross-sectional Analysis of Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy to Treat Hyperhidrosis Over 12 years in Brazil Epidemiology, Costs, and Mortality(2023) LOUZADA, Andressa Cristina Sposato; SILVA, Marcelo Fiorelli Alexandrino da; PORTUGAL, Maria Fernanda Cassino; TEIVELIS, Marcelo Passos; JERUSSALMY, Claudia Szlejf; AMARO, Edson; CAMPOS, Jose Ribas Milanez de; WOLOSKER, NelsonObjective:To analyze the number of endoscopic thoracic sympathectomies performed to treat hyperhidrosis in the Universal Public Health System of Brazil, the government reimbursements, and the in-hospital mortality rates. Background:Even though endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy has been widely performed for the definitive treatment of hyperhidrosis, no series reported mortality and there are no population-based studies evaluating its costs or its mortality rate. Methods:Data referring to endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy to treat hyperhidrosis between 2008 and 2019 were extracted from the database of the Brazilian Public Health System, which insures more than 160 million inhabitants. Results:Thirteen thousand two hundred one endoscopic thoracic sympathectomies to treat hyperhidrosis were performed from 2008 to 2019, with a rate of 68.44 procedures per 10 million inhabitants per year. There were 6 in-hospital deaths during the whole period, representing a mortality rate of 0.045%. The total expended throughout the years was U$ 6,767,825.14, with an average of U$ 512.68 per patient. Conclusions:We observed a rate of 68.44 thoracoscopic sympathectomies for hyperhidrosis' treatment per 10 million inhabitants per year. The inhospital mortality rate was very low, 0.045%, though not nil. To our knowledge, no published series is larger than ours and we are the first authors to formally report deaths after endoscopic thoracic sympathectomies to treat hyperhidrosis. Moreover, there is no other population-based study addressing costs and mortality rates of every endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy for the treatment of any site of hyperhidrosis in a given period.
- The Nuss procedure made safer: an effective and simple sternal elevation manoeuvre(2012) TEDDE, Miguel L.; CAMPOS, Jose Ribas Milanez de; WIHLM, Jean-Marie; JATENE, Fabio BiscegleThe Nuss procedure requires the creation of a substernal tunnel for bar positioning. This is a manoeuvre that can be dangerous, and cardiac perforation has occurred in a few cases. Our purpose was to describe two technical modifications that enable the prevention of these fatal complications. A series of 25 patients with pectus excavatum were treated with a modification of the Nuss procedure that included the entrance in the left haemithorax first, and the use of the retractor to lift the sternum, with the consequent lowering displacement of the heart. These modified techniques have certain advantages: (i) the narrow anterior mediastinum between the sternum and the pericardial sac is expanded by pulling up the sternum; (ii) the thoracoscopic visualization of the tip of the introducer during tunnel creation is improved; (iii) the rubbing of the introducer against the pericardium is minimized; (iv) the exit path of the introducer can be guided by the surgeon's finger and (v) haemostasis and integrity of the pericardial sac can be more easily confirmed. We observed that with these manoeuvres, the risk of pericardial sac and cardiac injury can be markedly reduced.
- Segmentectomia pulmonar anatômica robótica: aspectos técnicos e desfechos(2019) TERRA, Ricardo Mingarini; LAURICELLA, Leticia Leone; HADDAD, Rui; DE-CAMPOS, José Ribas Milanes; NABUCO-DE-ARAUJO, Pedro Henrique Xavier; LIMA, Carlos Eduardo Teixeira; SANTOS, Felipe Carvalho Braga dos; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo ManuelABSTRACT Objective: to report our initial experience with pulmonary robotic segmentectomy, describing the surgical technique, the preferred positioning of portals, initial results and outcomes. Methods: we collected data, from a prospective robotic surgery database, on patients undergoing robotic segmentectomy between January 2017 and December 2018. All patients had lung cancer, primary or secondary, or benign diseases, and were operated on with the Da Vinci system, by the three portals technique plus one utilitarian incision of 3cm. We dissected the hilar structures individually and performed the ligatures of the arterial and venous branches, of the segmental bronchi, as well as a parenchymal transection, with endoscopic staplers. We carried out systematic dissection of mediastinal lymph nodes for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases. Results: forty-nine patients, of whom 33 were women, underwent robotic segmentectomy. The average age was of 68 years. Most patients had NSCLC (n=34), followed by metastatic disease (n=11) and benign disease (n=4). There was no conversion to laparoscopic or open surgery, or to lobectomy. The median total operative time was 160 minutes, and the median console time, 117 minutes. Postoperative complications occurred in nine patients (18.3%), of whom seven (14.2%) had prolonged hospitalization (>7 days) due to persistent air fistula (n=4; 8.1%) or abdominal complications (n=2.4%). Conclusion: robotic segmentectomy is a safe and viable procedure, offering a short period of hospitalization and low morbidity.
- Analysis of the Results of Videotoracoscopic Sympathectomy in the Treatment of Hyperhidrosis in Patients 40 Years or Older(2020) FAUSTINO, Carolina B.; CAMPOS, Jose Ribas Milanez de; KAUFFMAN, Paulo; LEIDERMAN, Dafne Diamante; TEDDE, Miguel; CUCATO, Gabriel; FERNANDES, Paulo P.; LEAO, Pedro P.; WOLOSKER, NelsonBackground: Several factors that could influence the efficacy and satisfaction of patients after bilateral thoracic sympathectomy (video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathectomy [VATS]) in the treatment of hyperhidrosis (HH) have been studied, but no studies in the literature have specifically analyzed the effectiveness of treatment and variations in the quality of life of patients aged 40 years or older compared with those of young adult patients (19-40 years). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 2,431 HH patients who underwent bilateral VATS and divided the patients into the following groups: a group younger than 40 years old (1,760 patients) and a group 40 years and older (142 patients). Variables included quality of life before surgery, improvement in quality of life after surgery, clinical improvement in sweating, the presence of severe compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH), and general satisfaction at 1 month after surgery. Results: We observed that all surgical patients presented with poor or very poor quality of life before surgery, with similar proportions in both groups. In the postoperative period, we observed improvement in quality of life in more than 90% of the patients, with no significant difference noted between the 2 groups of patients. More than 90% of the patients in this series had great clinical improvement in the main HH site, with no significant difference between the 2 groups. Severe CH occurred in 23.8% of the patients in this series, with no significant difference between the 2 groups. Conclusions: Patients 40 years of age or older benefit just as much as younger patients from VATS performed to treat primary HH, presenting excellent significant surgical results.
- A randomized placebo-controlled trial of oxybutynin for the initial treatment of palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis(2012) WOLOSKER, Nelson; CAMPOS, Jose Ribas Milanez de; KAUFFMAN, Paulo; PUECH-LEAO, PedroIntroduction: Video-assisted thoracic sympathectomy provides excellent resolution of palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis but is associated with compensatory hyperhidrosis. Low doses of oxybutynin, an anticholinergic medication that competitively antagonizes the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, can be used to treat palmar hyperhidrosis with fewer side effects. Objective: This study evaluated the effectiveness and patient satisfaction of oral oxybutynin at low doses (5 mg twice daily) compared with placebo for treating palmar hyperhidrosis. Methods: This was prospective, randomized, and controlled study. From December 2010 to February 2011, 50 consecutive patients with palmar hyperhidrosis were treated with oxybutynin or placebo. Data were collected from 50 patients, but 5 (10.0%) were lost to follow-up. During the first week, patients received 2.5 mg of oxybutynin once daily in the evening. From days 8 to 21, they received 2.5 mg twice daily, and from day 22 to the end of week 6, they received 5 mg twice daily. All patients underwent two evaluations, before and after (6 weeks) the oxybutynin treatment, using a clinical questionnaire and a clinical protocol for quality of life. Results: Palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis improved in >70% of the patients, and 47.8% of those presented great improvement. Plantar hyperhidrosis improved in >90% of the patients. Most patients (65.2%) showed improvements in their quality of life. The side effects were minor, with dry mouth being the most frequent (47.8%). Conclusions: Treatment of palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis with oxybutynin is a good initial alternative for treatment given that it presents good results and improves quality of life.

- Technical Difficulties and Complications of Sympathectomy in the Treatment of Hyperhidrosis: An Analysis of 1731 Cases(2013) ANDRADE FILHO, Laert Oliveira de; KUZNIEC, Sergio; WOLOSKER, Nelson; YAZBEK, Guilherme; KAUFFMAN, Paulo; CAMPOS, Jose Ribas Milanez deBackground: The aim of this study was to ascertain the technical difficulties and complications of video-assisted thoracic sympathectomy (VTAS) in the treatment of hyperhidrosis in a large group of patients. Methods: Between October 1995 and February 2008, 1731 patients with palmar, axillary, or craniofacial hyperhidrosis, who were treated using bilateral VTAS, were studied. We assessed the technical difficulties, early and late complications, and the approaches that were used to resolve them. Results: Therapeutic success was achieved in 91% of the cases as evidenced by anhidrosis. The most common and severe technical difficulty during the procedure was pleural adhesions in 116 cases (6.7%); azygos lobes were seen in 7 patients (0.4%) and apical blebs in 3 patients (0.2%). The most frequent postoperative immediate complication was postoperative pain in 1685 (97.4%) patients; pneumothorax with chest drainage was seen in 60 cases (3.5%), neurologic disorders involving the upper limbs in 36 cases (2.1%), Homer's syndrome in 11 cases (0.9%), significant bleeding in 8 cases (0.4%), and 1 patient had extensive subcutaneous emphysema. The most frequent late complication was compensatory hyperhidrosis, which occurred in 1531 cases (88.4%). Although 27.2% of the patients reported severe compensatory hyperhidrosis, only 2.5% expressed regret for undergoing surgery. Gustatory sweating occurred in 334 patients (19.3%). No deaths occurred in this series. Conclusions: VTAS is safe and has shown good results. The major complication is compensatory hyperhidrosis and, when severe, the patient may express regret for undergoing surgery. Improvements in instrumentation, adequate training, and careful patient selection may help to reduce the number of drawbacks associated with VTAS.
