Reversal surgery for reducing the side effects of ETS. A case report.
Endoscopic sympathetic surgery has become a widespread surgery for handsweating and facial blushing all over the world. There are not many side effects in the normal train of the surgery, only lower body sweating is known to happen in some degree to nearly everyone. When the side effects exceed the expectation of the patient, she may demand the reversal of the surgery due to the regrets of the side effects. To better cope with this demand, we have developed an endoscopic method to restore the continuity of the sympathetic trunks. A typical course of recovery of one such reversal case is presented.
