Abstract
- Endoscopic symphathicotomy is an effective treatment for hyperhidrosis. Chylothorax is a rare but life-threatening complication. We recently encountered a case of chylothorax after endoscopic symphathicotomy at T2-T4 symphathetic nerve. We successfully treated chylothorax by electric cauterization with thoracic endoscopy.
