Compensatory Hyperhidrosis after Thoracoscopic Sympathectomy: Reply

Hopital Trousseau, CHU, Service de Chirugie Thoracique, Tours, 37044 France

To the Editor:

We thank Dr Baumgartner [1] for his interest in our study and we greatly appreciate the comments. I agree with his use of the four characteristics mentioned and his consideration of family history. Other criteria I consider are sweat stopping during sleep, and the wearing of blue jeans (cotton is very convenient for wiping hands). At the first contact with the patient, it is easy to establish if it is a typical form or not. For the non-typical forms, we are very prudent and rather dissuasive in regard to surgery.
