A randomized, prospective trial comparing this approach with other conventional approaches needs to be
performed to further validate the results.
In conclusion, robotic technology has the potential of accomplishing highly selective dorsal preganglionic
and postganglionic sympathectomy with accuracy. This technique may decrease the incidence of post
sympathectomy compensatory hyperhidrosis and Horner’s syndrome.
