    Abstract:
    Thoracic endoscopic sympathectomy (TES) is a short surgical procedure used for the treatment of palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis. It involves pneumothorax, the lateral and head up position, and necessitates minimal chest excursions during breathing, so that a special type of anaesthesia is required. In 13 patients two different methods were compared and blood gas analysis as well as circulatory parameters were studied. We therefore propose an anaesthetic method using controlled mechanical ventilation; relaxation; intravenous anaesthesia; at least 1 1 fluid replacement; and careful monitoring.
