    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, Pedro
    Background: 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.

    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, Nelson
    Objective: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 use of oxybutynin for treating facial hyperhidrosis
    (2011) WOLOSKER, Nelson; CAMPOS, Jose Ribas Milanez de; KAUFFMAN, Paulo; MUNIA, Marco Antonio; NEVES, Samantha; JATENE, Fabio Biscegli; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro
    BACKGROUND: Facial hyperhidrosis is a disease that may lead patients to serious emotional disturbances. Video-assisted thoracic sympathectomy provides excellent resolution of facial hyperhidrosis, but is associated with certain complications. The most frequent and important complication is compensatory hyperhidrosis. Especially in patients who have undergone resection of the second thoracic ganglion, the risk of severe compensatory hyperhidrosis is higher, which may cause dissatisfaction with the procedure. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the use of low doses of oxybutynin in treating facial hyperhidrosis as well as the level of patient satisfaction with its use. METHODS: 25 patients with facial hyperhidrosis were treated with oxybutynin. The patients underwent 2 evaluations: before and after treatment. These evaluations were used to assess the patients' clinical improvement and quality of life. RESULTS: We observed that more than 75% of the patients evolved with an improvement in facial hyperhidrosis, and 52% of them presented a great improvement. CONCLUSION: Treatment of facial hyperhidrosis with oxybutynin is a good alternative to sympathectomy, since it presents good results and improves quality of life, in addition to not exposing patients to the risk of experiencing the side effects of sympathectomy.

    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, Nelson
    Background: 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, Pedro
    Introduction: 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 de
    Background: 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.

    Long-Term Comparison of Video-Assisted Thoracic Sympathectomy and Clinical Observation for the Treatment of Palmar Hyperhidrosis in Children Younger Than 14
    (2012) NEVES, Samantha; UCHOA, Patricia C.; WOLOSKER, Nelson; MUNIA, Marco A.; KAUFFMAN, Paulo; CAMPOS, Jose Ribas M. de; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro
    The results of video-assisted thoracic sympathectomy (VATS)in children are unknown. To investigate the improvement in quality of life (QOL) of a group of 45 children who did and did not undergo VATS for the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis (PH) 4 years after the initial evaluation. Forty-five children with PH were initially evaluated. Children were divided into two groups: 30 in the VATS group and 15 in the control group. We studied the evolution of PH, negative effect of hyperhidrosis on the QOL before the treatment, and improvement in QOL after treatment. Twenty-five patients (83.4%) in the VATS group experienced great improvement in PH, and five (16.6%) experienced partial improvement; 12 (80.0%) children from the control group had some type of improvement, and three (20.0%) had partial improvement. Two (13.3%) children in the control group and 23 (76.7%) in the VATS group had great improvement in QOL. For children with PH and poor QOL, VATS is better than no treatment. It produces better results with regard to sweating and greater improvement in QOL.

    The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Expert Consensus for the Surgical Treatment of Hyperhidrosis
    (2011) CERFOLIO, Robert J.; CAMPOS, Jose Ribas Milanez De; BRYANT, Ayesha S.; CONNERY, Cliff P.; MILLER, Daniel L.; DECAMP, Malcolm M.; MCKENNA, Robert J.; KRASNA, Mark J.
    Significant controversies surround the optimal treatment of primary hyperhidrosis of the hands, axillae, feet, and face. The world's literature on hyperhidrosis from 1991 to 2009 was obtained through PubMed. There were 1,097 published articles, of which 102 were clinical trials. Twelve were randomized clinical trials and 90 were nonrandomized comparative studies. After review and discussion by task force members of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons' General Thoracic Workforce, expert consensus was reached from which specific treatment strategies are suggested. These studies suggest that primary hyperhidrosis of the extremities, axillae or face is best treated by endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS). Interruption of the sympathetic chain can be achieved either by electrocautery or clipping. An international nomenclature should be adopted that refers to the rib levels (R) instead of the vertebral level at which the nerve is interrupted, and how the chain is interrupted, along with systematic pre and postoperative assessments of sweating pattern, intensity and quality-of-life. The recent body of literature suggests that the highest success rates occur when interruption is performed at the top of R3 or the top of R4 for palmar-only hyperhidrosis. R4 may offer a lower incidence of compensatory hyperhidrosis but moister hands. For palmar and axillary, palmar, axillary and pedal and for axillary-only hyperhidrosis interruptions at R4 and R5 are recommended. The top of R3 is best for craniofacial hyperhidrosis.

    Combination of topical agents and oxybutynin as a therapeutic modality for patients with both osmidrosis and hyperhidrosis
    (2018) VARELLA, Andrea Yasbek Monteiro; FUKUDA, Juliana Maria; TEIVELIS, Marcelo Passos; PINHEIRO, Lucas Lembranca; MENDES, Cynthia de Almeida; KAUFFMAN, Paulo; CAMPOS, Jose Ribas Milanez de; WOLOSKER, Nelson
    Introduction: The association of osmidrosis and hyperhidrosis often causes emotional and social problems that may impair the patients' quality of life. The purpose of our study was to analyze the therapeutic results of oxybutynin and topical agents in 89 patients with both osmidrosis and hyperhidrosis. Method: We conducted an observational study at two specialized centers of hyperhidrosis between April 2007 and August 2013. Eighty-nine (89) patients with both osmidrosis and hyperhidrosis were treated with oxybutynin and topical agents. Patients were evaluated before treatment and at 3 and 6 weeks after treatment started, by using the Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Sweating Evolution Scale. Results: Before treatment, 98% of the patients presented with poor or very poor quality of life. After six weeks of treatment, 70% stated their quality of life as being slightly better or much better (p< 0.001) and nearly 70% of the patients experienced a moderate or great improvement in sweating and malodor. Improvement in osmidrosis was significantly greater when the axillary region was the first most disturbing site of hyperhidrosis. Conclusion: There was a significant improvement in quality of life and a reduction in sweating and malodor after six weeks of treatment with topical agents and oxybutynin in patients with both hyperhidrosis and osmidrosis. Therefore, clinical treatment should be considered before invasive techniques.

    Objective evaluation of plantar hyperhidrosis after sympathectomy
    (2013) WOLOSKER, Nelson; ISHY, Augusto; YAZBEK, Guilherme; CAMPOS, Jose Ribas Milanez de; KAUFFMAN, Paulo; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro; JATENE, Fabio Biscegli
    OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to prospectively, randomly, blindly, and objectively investigate how surgery affects plantar sudoresis in patients with palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis over a one-year period using a sudorometer (VapoMeter). METHODS: From February 2007 to May 2009, 40 consecutive patients with combined palmar hyperhidrosis and plantar hyperhidrosis underwent video-assisted thoracic sympathectomy at the T3 or T4 ganglion level (15 women and 25 men, with a mean age of 25 years). RESULTS: Immediately after the operation and during the one-year follow-up, all of the patients were free from palmar hyperhidrosis episodes. Compensatory hyperhidrosis of varying degrees was observed in 35 (87.5%) patients after one year. Only two (2.5%) patients suffered from severe compensatory hyperhidrosis. There was a large initial improvement in plantar hyperhidrosis in 46.25% of the cases, followed by a progressive regression of that improvement, such that only 30% continued to show this improvement after one year. The proportion of patients whose condition worsened increased progressively (from 21.25% to 47.50%), and the proportion of stable patients decreased (32.5% to 22.50%). This was not related to resection level; however, a lower intensity of plantar hyperhidrosis prior to sympathectomy correlated with worse evolution. CONCLUSION: Patients with palmar hyperhidrosis and plantar hyperhidrosis who underwent video-assisted thoracic sympathectomy to treat their palmar hyperhidrosis exhibited good initial improvement in plantar hyperhidrosis, which then decreased to lesser degrees of improvement over a one-year period following the surgery. For this reason, video-assisted thoracic sympathectomy should not be performed when only plantar hyperhidrosis is present.
