Abstract Percutaneous transthoracic chemical sympathicolysis is an alternative to surgical sympathectomy in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis. The procedure is performed under meticulous CT monitoring and consist of injection of a special phenol solution into the paravertebral space of the third thoracic vertebra. Here we review our experience with patients in whom chemical sympathicolysis was performed. Between December 1987 and December 1991, 76 patients were accepted for treatment in our department: in 72 of these, 143 procedures were carried out in 137 limbs. Complications. results and follow-up are described.
