With a team of highly skilled doctors and state-of-the-art medical centers, we provide exceptional care to our patients. In this article, we will delve into the topic of endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy and its potential side effects.

Understanding Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy

Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), facial blushing, and certain vascular conditions. This procedure is conducted under general anesthesia and involves making small incisions in the chest or armpit area to access the sympathetic nerves responsible for these conditions.

The Benefits of ETS

ETS offers numerous benefits to patients suffering from hyperhidrosis, facial blushing, or vascular conditions. By selectively interrupting the sympathetic nerves, ETS can effectively reduce or eliminate excessive sweating and blushing, leading to improved social confidence and quality of life. Additionally, ETS has been found helpful in managing vascular conditions by improving blood circulation in affected areas.

Potential Side Effects of ETS

As with any medical procedure, it is important to be aware of potential side effects. While ETS is considered safe, there are potential risks involved. It is crucial to discuss these risks with your surgeon before making a decision. Some common side effects of ETS may include:

• Compensatory sweating: After undergoing ETS, some patients may experience increased sweating in other parts of the body to compensate for the reduced sweating in the treated area. This phenomenon typically occurs in less than 10% of patients and can vary in severity.
• Horner's syndrome: In rare cases, ETS may result in Horner's syndrome, which manifests as drooping of the eyelid, constriction of the pupil, and diminished sweating on one side of the face. This condition is usually temporary and resolves on its own within a few weeks to months.
• Changes in body temperature regulation: Since ETS affects the sympathetic nerves responsible for temperature regulation, some patients may experience minor changes in their ability to regulate body temperature. These changes are generally well-tolerated and do not significantly impact daily life.
• Iontophoresis disruption: If you rely on iontophoresis as a treatment for excessive sweating prior to ETS, it is important to note that the procedure may disrupt this treatment method and its effectiveness in the treated area.
