What is Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy ?

Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) is a surgical procedure used to treat hyperhidrosis, a condition characterized by excessive sweating, usually in the hands, armpits, face, or feet. It is also used to treat facial blushing and certain types of chronic pain. The procedure involves cutting or clamping the sympathetic nerves that run along the spine in the chest, which control sweating.

Why is Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy Performed?

ETS is primarily performed to alleviate symptoms of severe hyperhidrosis when other treatments, such as medications or antiperspirants, have failed. It is also indicated for:

  • Facial blushing
  • Raynaud’s phenomenon (a condition that affects blood flow to certain parts of the body)
  • Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (a chronic pain condition)
