	Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) is a surgical procedure where certain portions of the sympathetic nerve trunk are burned, severed, removed or clamped.
		Sympathectomy refers to the intentional destruction of tissue anywhere in either of the two sympathetic trunks, long chains of nerve ganglia lying along either side of the spine.
		Sympathectomy itself is relatively easy to perform; however, accessing the nerve tissue in the chest cavity by conventional surgical methods was difficult, painful, and spawned several different approaches.

	ETS - Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy. surgery for Sweaty Feet
		Sympathectomy is a medical procedure which involves clamping or cutting the sympathetic nerve in order to interfere with the over-sweat producing activity.
		Sympathectomy procedures have been performed for some time now, all with maximally invasive procedures to the neck, back and chest wall.
		In recent developments, though, new endoscopic techniques exist for surgeons to perform this procedure through small incisions that are minimally invasive.

		Sympathectomy refers to a medical term by which the sympathetic chain is cut or clamped in order to interfere with its activity.
		Sympathectomy was performed for the last 50 to 60 years.
		Thanks to developments in the field of endoscopic surgery (surgery that uses small instruments and cameras to allow surgeons entrance into the body with miniscule incisions) this procedure can be performed with only minor discomfort.

	Hyperhidrosis Program - Video-Assisted Thoracic Sympathectomy
		The thoracic sympathetic ganglion chain is located along the vertebra of the spine inside the chest.
		Endoscopic surgery is less painful (minor discomfort), has fewer postoperative complications, can be done on an outpatient basis and requires very little recovery time (normally, a couple of days).
		Almost everyone is a candidate for video-assisted thoracic sympathectomy, except those with a history of severe cardio-respiratory disease, pleural disease or untreated thyroid disease.

		Some surgeons extend their action to encompass the 3rd and 4th ganglion to treat axillary hyperhidrosis; several reports and the author's experience have shown that the risk for compensatory sweating is greatly reduced, though not completely excluded, by limiting the number of ganglia treated to an absolute minimum (in practice: only 1 ganglion/side).

	Endoscopic Sympathectomy for Hyperhidrosis
		Sympathectomy is a surgical procedure during which segments of the sympathetic nerve pathways are cut.
		Although sympathectomy is quite successful - 92% to 99% efficacy rate -virtually all patients find that they have increased sweating in other parts of their bodies, called compensatory hyperhidrosis.
		Lumbar sympathectomy for plantar hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the feet) is similarly very effective, but sexual dysfunction and other complications may arise, and thus this procedure is infrequently performed at this time.

	Mayo Clinic Proceedings
		Thoracic chain sympathectomy remains successful for long-term therapy for severe palmar hyperhidrosis and, interestingly, for plantar hyperhidrosis, which improves modestly in about 50% to 75% of the patients and in perhaps 80% of patients with coexisting axillary hyperhidrosis.
		Historically, surgical sympathectomy was reserved for severe cases of palmar hyperhidrosis refractory to the more conservative therapies for several reasons: the invasive nature of the procedure, the need for general endotracheal anesthesia and hospitalization, and perioperative and postoperative complications.
		Ganglion-sparing endoscopic thoracic sympathotomy is restricted to electrocauterization of the chain between the stellate and T2 ganglion, minimizing the risk of severe postoperative compensatory hyperhidrosis in other regions of the body.

	Treatment of Hyperhidrosis in India ( ETS )
		Sympathectomy involves the surgical destruction of the ganglia responsible for hyperhidrosis.
		Complications are possible with this endoscopic treatment option; these include compensatory sweating (induction of sweating in previously unaffected areas of the body), gustatory sweating, pneumothorax, intercostal neuralgia, Horner syndrome (in case of T1 surgery), recurrence of hyperhidrosis (due to left behind nerve of Kuntz or aberrant nerves), and the sequelae of general anesthetic use.
		In a similar study of 72 patients who underwent transthoracic endoscopic sympathectomy (T2 or T2 and T3) for palmar hyperhidrosis, the success rate was 93%; compensatory sweating occurred in most of the patients within 1 month after surgery, and gustatory sweating occurred in 17% (Lai, 1997).

		Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy (ETS) is a medical procedure where certain portions of the sympathetic nerve trunk are burned, cut or clamped.
		Each trunk is broadly divided into 3 regions: cervical (up by the neck), thoracic (in the chest) and lumbar (in the lower back).
		The group grew to over 300 members, and under the leadership of chairman Morgan Carlson was eventually able to pressure Swedish medical authorities, who have not allowed ETS in Sweden since 2003.
