“…5,16 Nevertheless, most authors (2) performed a sympathectomy at the level of T2 to T4. Several studies pointed out that the second and third thoracic ganglia are responsible for the sympathetic innervation of the hand and that an extension of the sympathectomy beyond these ganglia provided no additional benefit in obtaining the desired reduction of the sympathetic tone of the hand.…”

“…Many authors stressed the importance of dissecting and severing the nerve of Kuntz [48][49][50][51][52]. Others blame intact nerves of Kuntz for failure of primary surgery or recurrence of symptoms after sympathectomy for upper limb hyperhidrosis [53][54][55].…”

“…Complete interruption of the sympathetic innervation also comprises ablation of these fibers being of utmost importance to surgical results. The incidence of the nerve of Kuntz varies in the literature between 10% and 80% depending on different results in surgical or anatomical investigations [2,47,52,[56][57][58].…”

“…1,2,4,5 Thus, some investigators discourage the use of thoracoscopic sympathectomy in patients with Raynaud's phenomenon 1,5 and others consider sympathectomy to be the method of choice, 6 or at least an acceptable method for treatment of resistant Raynaud's phenomenon. [7][8][9][10][11] This controversy prompted us to perform a follow-up study in our patients.…”
