One hundred @entity1 with primary @entity1119 ( @entity1119 ) underwent bilateral upper dorsal sympathectomy (UDS) by the supraclavicular approach. Pre-operative epidemiological and clinical data are described. The immediate and late results, as well as the complications and side-effects are detailed. Follow-up was completed on 93 @entity1 between four and 50 months after the operation (average 18 months). Of 93 @entity1 , 91 had drying of the hands. In 58% some moisture returned to the hands but in no case did the hyperhidrotic state recur. Subjective @entity1 evaluation was excellent or good in 83 @entity1 (89%) and only one @entity1 (a technical failure) was completely dissatisfied. Reasons for some degree of dissatisfaction with operation were mainly compensatory @entity1119 in non denervated areas, and @entity4820 . Compensatory @entity1119 usually decreased with passage of time and, permanent @entity4820 occurred in 8% of @entity1 (4% of procedures). Technical failure can be avoided by use of frozen section examination intraoperatively. For severe cases of palmar @entity1119 that cause social, professional and emotional embarassment, bilateral simultaneous UDS by the supraclavicular approach is the procedure of choice: Morbidity is small, and almost all @entity1 enjoy improved quality of life after the operation.
