Abstract

Background: Thoracoscopic T2 sympathicotomy is an effective method for the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis. Not only are the symptoms of hyperhidrosis abolished but also the temperature of the ipsilateral palm is elevated due to the sympatholytic vasodilation after the completion of the sympathicotomy on the first side. However little is known about the temperature changes in the contralateral palm. This study was performed to evaluate the changes in both palmar temperatures during the thoracoscopic T2 sympathicotomy for palmar hyperhidrosis. Material and Method: Thoracoscopic T2 sympathicotomy was performed in 15 patients with primary palmar hyperhidrosis. Surface temperatures of both palms were monitored continuously and were recorded simultaneously during the 7 different stages of the operation. Result: When T2 sympathicotomy was performed on the first(left) side, an ipsilateral increase with a contralateral decrease of temperature was observed. The difference in the temperature of both palms was greatest just before the sympathicotomy on the contralateral(right) side(Lt. 34.6$\pm$0.9$^{\circ}C$ vs. Rt. 31.6$\pm$1.3$^{\circ}C$, P<0.0001). After the sympathicotomy on the second(right) side, temperature of the right palm was elevated. The difference in the temperature of both palms was abolished at the end of the operation(Lt.34.7$\pm$0.9$^{\circ}C$ vs. Rt.34.4$\pm$1.$0^{\circ}C$, P=0.415). Conclusion: When T2 sympathicotomy was performed on the first side, an ipsilateral palmar temperature increased due to the sympatholytic vasodilation. However contralateral palmar temperature decreased due to a vasoconstriction. Although the mechanism of vasoconstriction is still unknown, it is postulated that there may be a cross- inhibitory effect by the post-ganglionic neurons innervating blood vessels of the palm.

배경: 흉강경을 이용한 T2 교감신경절단술은 수장부다한증의 효과적인 치료법이다. 교감신경을 절단하면 다한증 증상이 소실되는 것은 물론 피하혈관의 확장으로 동측 손바닥 온도가 올라간다. 그러나 반대측 손바닥의 온도 변화에 대해서는 밝혀진 바가 적다. 저자들은 수장부다한증 환자에서 교감신경절단술 과정에 나타나는 양측 손바닥 온도의 변화양상을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 일차성 수장부다한증 환자 15명에서 T2 교감신경절단술을 시행하였다. 수술중 양측 손바닥에 피부온도감지패취를 부착하여 손바닥의 온도를 관찰기록하였다. 결과: 먼저 좌측 2번 흉부교감신경을 절단하자 동측 손바닥의 온도는 상승하고 반대측 손바닥의 온도는 감소하였다. 두 손바닥의 온도차는 우측 교감신경절단전에 가장 컸으며(좌측 34.6$\pm$0.9 $^{\circ}C$, 우측 31.6$\pm$1.3$^{\circ}C$, P < 0.0001) 반대쪽(우측) 교감신경을 절단하자 감소하였던 우측 손바닥의 온도가 상승하여 수술종료시 두 손바닥의 온도차가 없어졌다(좌측 34.7$\pm$1.0 $^{\circ}C$, 우측 34.4$\pm$1.0 $^{\circ}C$, P=0.415). 결론: 수장부 다한증에서 교감신경절단술을 시행할 때는 상지에 분포하는 교감신경이 정확히 차단되었는가를 확인하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해서 수술중 손바닥 피부온도를 측정하여 온도상승을 확인한다. 반대측 손바닥 온도가 감소하는 기전인 혈관수축에는 교차억제효과(Cross inhibitory effect)가 관계될 것으로 생각되며 향후 이에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.
