At the Massachusetts General Hospital Hyperhidrosis Surgery Service, we employ a minimally invasive surgical approach for the management of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) for appropriate patients.
Our surgical approach (thoracoscopic thoracic sympathectomy) effectively eliminates palmar hyperhidrosis, and can help decrease axillary hyperhidrosis (armpit perspiration) as well.
Our hyperhidrosis surgery team is led by board-certified thoracic surgeons who have extensive experience in the use of minimally invasive techniques and are well recognized as leaders in the field of thoracic surgery and hyperhidrosis research and treatment.
Hyperhidrosis Practice Overview
Massachusetts General Hospital has been a leader in the diagnosis and treatment of hyperhidrosis in the New England area for more than a decade. Our commitment to the treatment of this disorder is evident in our approach to hyperhidrosis.
Our hypherhidrosis surgical procedure has evolved to decrease the incision size, reduce the postoperative recovery time, and hasten a return to full activity.
At Massachusetts General Hospital, we strive to:
- Provide the highest quality care to individuals and to the community
- Advance care through excellence in biomedical research
- Educate future academic and practice leaders of the health care professions
