Brief Summary
In this study, the investigators aim to present fifteen years' experience of thoracoscopic sympathetic chain interruption for primary palmar hyperhidrosis in children and adolescents; evaluation of 3 different techniques (sympathectomy, sympathotomy, and clipping) regarding demographic data, surgical outcomes, complications, compensatory sweating, and patients' satisfaction.
