ETS Surgery (Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy)

In 2003, ETS was banned in its birthplace, Sweden, due to overwhelming complaints by disabled patients. In 2004, Taiwanese health authorities banned the procedure on patients under 20 years of age.

I had ets done and it was good for about 3 yrs. Then compensatory sweating, I've had to change the way I live my life by bringing extra clothes or just avoid going out when it was hot. Dont believe the whole clamping procedure, you only have a short window to get them off and the side effects may still be there. If I could do this all over again, I would never even consider this procedure. I sweat all over my body now and missed numerous classes bc of it. My option is to move to a cool envirment

"NOT permanent." lol sure. When you clamp the sympathetic nerve it dies. DEAD. I have actually had ets. I know the REAL side effects of this bullshit surgery. ETS effects heart rate. Heat tolerance. Energy levels. Moisture in the skin. You surgeons are quakes. YOu sell a surgery that has SERious side effects and downplay them for money. The horrible side effects of sympathectomies have been know for over a hundred years.

do not go for this operation. im from south africa and went for this. my hands feet and underarms were dry. i was happy. now, every part of my body sweats. i cant go to work , interviews, the mall. its embarrassing. gonna try and get medication. my doc sed the reason for the sweating is coz the sweat has to come out somewhere !

@maggie741231 Your feet dry ? This procedure only stops sweating in hands

[maggie741231]

DO NOT HAVE THIS PROCEDURE! I had this procedure in Nov 2005.  All my life, my hands & feet would drip with sweat. I awoke from surgery dry as a bone. I thought it was a miracle come true. Then I slowly began to sweat in the lower part of my back, then under my breast, then in my groin. It is now Nov 2011 and & only leave home if I absolutely have to do so. I sweat so profusely that I have to change clothes & bathe several times a day. BUT my hands & feet are dry! I wish for a do-over!

LOL. I had this surgery done a few years ago. It's helped my hand sweating, A LOT. I'm glad I got it done. Though yes, Now i sweat on my back more especially in hot weather. But I'd rather have that than constant 24/7 sweat (even when I'm sleeping) on my hands.

@mcnabj Botox didn't work for me. It was horrible! Never again.

@mcnabj Botox was EXTREMELY painful and did NOT work for me. Horrific procedure
