VATS Sympathectomy Surgical Procedure at DRHC

VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery) sympathectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) or Raynaud's disease (a condition that affects blood flow to the fingers and toes). This procedure involves cutting or clamping the sympathetic nerves that control sweating or blood flow in the affected area.

During a VATS sympathectomy, the surgeon makes several small incisions in the chest and inserts a small camera and specialized instruments through the incisions. The camera allows the surgeon to visualize the sympathetic nerves and surrounding structures on a monitor, while the instruments are used to cut or clamp the nerves.

VATS sympathectomy is associated with less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. It is usually performed under general anesthesia and may require a hospital stay of several days to several weeks, depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient's condition.

In Dubai, VATS sympathectomy is typically performed by highly skilled and experienced thoracic surgeons who specialize in the treatment of hyperhidrosis and Raynaud's disease. The surgeons at the Dubai Thoracic Surgery Clinic, located at the Dr. Rami Hamed Center, have extensive experience in performing VATS sympathectomy and work closely with a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care for patients undergoing this procedure.
