Video-endoscopic sympathectomy (VES) is currently the method of choice for the minimally invasive treatment of hyperhidrosis involving the palms, armpit and facial areas. Over a 7-year period from 1991 to 1997 our technique of performing VES has evolved during the performance of 800 endoscopic sympathectomies from the use of 3 ports to a single 10-mm port to finally a 3-mm port using a mini-endoscope. In comparison to standard VES, mini-endoscopic sympathectomy is simpler, less invasive, causes less postoperative discomfort and consistently allows patients to return home the same day.
电视内镜下交感神经切除术（VES）是目前用于微创治疗手掌、腋窝和面部多汗症的首选方法。在1991年至1997年的7年时间里，我们实施VES的技术在800例内镜下交感神经切除术的过程中不断演变，从使用3个端口到单个10毫米端口，最终采用微型内镜使用3毫米端口。与标准VES相比，微型内镜下交感神经切除术更简单、侵入性更小、术后不适更少，并且始终能让患者在同一天回家。
