mini-invasive surgical procedure for the treatment of palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis.
39 patients were involved in this study.
The ages were ranging between (17_45) years
.

simultaneously -in the same op-sitting-bilateral thoracoscopic sympathectomies T2-T4 .
Succass rate, i.e , abscence of axillary and palmar hyperhidrosis, was 100%.
The most discomfortable complicantion for the patients was compensatory sweating
