ETS Reversal in India : Robotic Sympathetic Nerve Reconstruction

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of hands, feet, and face) is very common and affects around 3% of the population. Individuals suffering from it experience profound embarrassment at the social, psychological, professional, and emotional levels with a significant degree of impairment of quality of life. Endoscopic Thoracoscopic Sympathectomy (ETS surgery) is often done in patients who have severe hyperhidrosis of hands and armpits, which is not adequately responding to various non-surgical methods (iontophoresis, aluminium chloride wipes, anticholinergic medications, botox, etc.). During ETS, the sympathetic nerve that runs close to the spine is cut, burnt, or clamped. The results of ETS are immediate and often permanent; around 95% of patients get dry hands after ETS.
