Jiri Konecny
San Francisco / San Jose / Los Angeles /
Orange County, CA, USAD.O.
As a
Thoracic and Cardiovascular surgeon, Dr.
Jiri Konecny has been providing
treatment and cure of excessive
sweating (hyperhidrosis) in Orange
County in Santa Ana and San Jose,
CA. Recently, the Center has
acquired the Harmonic Scalpel - a
State-of-the-Art cutting instrument,
which utilizes high-frequency ultrasonic
energy (55,500 vibrations per second) to
allow precise dissection of tissues at
relatively low temperature, without
damage to surrounding tissues (other
nerves, etc). This instrument permits
Sympathectomy at a higher level of the
sympathetic chain, thus expanding the
indications of this surgery to facial
sweating and blushing in addition to hand
and armpit sweating. Each patient has to
be evaluated individually to determine if
he/she is a candidate for the ETS
and what level of the sympathetic chain
needs to be addressed. Dr. Konecny
was awarded in 2004-2005 "America's
Top Surgeons" by the Consumers
Research Council of America.
