The decision on the surgical treatment depends on the intensity of hyperhidrosis, ranging from mild, moderate or severe, and the degree of distress of the patient. It should be noted that mild forms may go well with clinical treatment initially, but if this fails, the final option is surgery. Moderate to severe cases the initial indication and definitive treatment is surgical. The expected results of the procedure must be weighed versus the risks of possible complications and side effects.

Previous thoracic surgery, obesity, advanced age and associated diseases reduce the chances of success of surgery and increase the risk of complications. Of course, no surgical treatment is recommended for patients who have 15% or more over their ideal weight because of the difficulty and / or the inability to identify the sympathetic chain during the intervention. It is very likely that after the surgery is not performed to obtain the desired results.
