The patient Mr. Zeng sued the open hospital, claiming 345,000 yuan Want to know what “sweating like rain” is like? Mr. Zeng, a citizen, can tell you. In order to treat hand sweating, he underwent a related surgery, but incurred the consequences of the whole body to the chest as the boundary between the upper and lower “wet and dry”, so he was embarrassed. For this reason, he took the hospital to court, claiming 345,000 yuan. But the hospital believes that this is a normal phenomenon, Mr. Zeng should have psychological preparation in advance. After the surgery, the trouble increased instead of decreased Many people do not realize that hand sweating is also a disease that can be treated through surgery. Mr. Zeng is a typical hand sweating patient, with sweaty hands and inconvenient handshakes, and often inconvenient daily life. Last year, he heard that Renai Hospital could perform surgery to treat hand sweating, and he couldn’t help but be delighted. For this reason, he deliberately looked up some information on the Internet. In April last year, he underwent surgery at Renai Hospital. Sure enough, the surgery cured him of his strange problem of sweaty palms. But at the same time, another embarrassing thing happened to him: the surgery was like repairing a burst water pipe, blocking a loophole, but letting the sweat “gush out” with a vengeance from other outlets, doubling the amount of uncontrollable. Although the surgery itself was a success, his distress grew even more. The hospital is misleading to the patient Although the “informed consent for surgery” that the hospital asked Mr. Zeng to sign before the surgery clearly informed that “some patients may experience temporary compensatory hyperhidrosis in the trunk area after the surgery, which can mostly be relieved by itself”, Mr. Zeng believes that he did not But Mr. Zeng felt that he did not thoroughly understand the risks before the surgery. “The treating surgeon did not fully explain that compensatory sweating may develop for up to one or two years after surgery and that the sweating is unbearable.” He said. For more than 1 year, Mr. Zeng has encountered many inconveniences, with several showers and changes of clothes each day, and a massive reduction in social activities. Especially in this weather, which is not very hot at the moment, his clothes are often drenched. Mr. Zeng believes that the hospital’s information did not sufficiently allow him to weigh the pros and cons, and that the “temporary” nature of the information is misleading to patients. He also claimed that an internet search showed that hand sweating surgery has been banned in Sweden and the UK because of its side effects. What’s more, the appraisal results of Xuhui District Medical Accident Technical Appraisal Center also show that this is not a medical accident, so it is impossible to compensate Mr. Zeng for the huge amount of money. So, is it normal to have a lot of sweating in other parts of the body after open surgery for hand sweating? The reporter last night asked Qiu Ming, chief physician of general surgery at Changzheng Hospital, the first hospital in China to perform surgical treatment of hyperhidrosis. The only way to treat hand sweating is through surgery, and the percentage of compensatory sweating sequelae occurring is about 20% to 30%, independent of the success or failure of the surgery itself, which is mainly determined by the patient’s physical condition, and the surgery is not banned in any country. The actual surgery is a good way to get a better understanding of the risks associated with hand sweating and other cosmetic and plastic surgery, and to sign an informed consent form to fully understand the possible consequences of the surgery.
