Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating disorder):
Hyperhidrosis, with hereditary tendency, can be classified into (1)Facial sweating, (2) Hand sweating, (3) Axillary sweating (Bromidrosis), (4) Foot sweating, (5) Sweating of whole body.
Surgical sympathetic procedure guarantees permanent cure of Hyperhidrosis except generalized type of sweating problem. Dr. Lin is the first people who found out the rules of sympathetic innervation and mechanism of postoperative reflex sweating (compensatory sweating), for this sake side effects can be avoided by his designed procedure - ESB.
Preservation of facial sweating function is the corner stone to avoid reflex sweating in sympathetic surgery. Reflex sweating can be avoided on patients with pure hand and/or armpit sweating by ESB. Reflex sweating with various degrees is surely happened on T2 sympathetic procedure, when it is used to cure hand or facial sweating.
High incidence of cardiovascular diseases was found on male with facial sweating (Hyperhidrosis craniofacialis). Sympathetic Hypertensive Syndrome (SHS) is called on people, especially on male, with facial sweating and high blood pressure (hypertension). ESB can cure SHS and markedly reduced the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

More than 200 foreign patients from more than 30 countries
came Taiwan to receive Dr. Lin’s operation for different
sympathetic disorder.
