Primary hyperhidrosis is an extremely disabling condition with an estimated prevalence of 1% in the western world [1]. It can be defined as sweating in excess of the body's homeostatic requirements. It most often affects the palms of the hands, the axillae, or the face and may be a severe professional, psychological, and social burden to many patients. Medical treatment is often frustrating, and the response is usually transient. Surgical therapy is effective and is based on interruption of transmission of impulses from sympathetic ganglia to the eccrine sweat glands.
