Dr Kan Yuk Man, Sweaty Palms Surgeon in Singapore
Senior Consultant Surgeon with more than 25 years of experience in keyhole (minimally invasive) surgery, including endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) for severe sweaty palms.
About Dr Kan
Dr Kan Yuk Man is the Director and Founder of KYM Surgery. He graduated in the United Kingdom, trained in general surgery at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, and completed a fellowship in Brisbane, Australia, with further training in Japan, focusing on keyhole surgery.
For sweaty palms, he starts by confirming the type of sweating and going through the non-surgical options. Where sweating is severe and other treatments have not worked, he performs ETS, and he discusses its main side effect, compensatory sweating, openly before you decide.
He uses keyhole techniques wherever they are suitable, which for most patients means small scars, less pain and a quicker return to normal activities.
