The difference between axillary osmidrosis (AO) and axillary bromidrosis (AB) is the degree of odor and quantity of sweat, which is associated with selection of therapeutic modality theoretically. Upper thoracic sympathectomy has been used for both diseases but its effect needs to be further evaluated with more clinical data. We collected 108 patients with AO or AB treated by upper thoracic sympathectomy from July 1995 to July 2002. Of these patients, 42 suffered AO alone, 17 had AB (AO with axillary hyperhidrosis [AH]), and 49 had AO with palmar hyperhidrosis (PH). Ninety-two patients (183 sides) received anterior subaxillary transthoracic endoscopic sympathectomy (TES) and 17 patients (33 sides) received posterior percutaneous thoracic phenol sympathicolysis (PTPS). The levels of sympathectomy or sympathicolysis were T3-4 for AO and AB, and T2-4 for AO with PH. Mean follow-up period was 45.2 months (13-97 months). The satisfaction rates of patients were 52.4%, 70.6% and 61.2% for AO, AB and AO with PH, respectively. The rates of patients with improvement and satisfaction were 78.6%, 88.2% and 85.7% for AO, AB, and AO with PH, respectively. These results suggest that upper thoracic sympathectomy may be an acceptable treatment for AB or AO with PH rather than AO only.
