An anonymous Italian ETS patient created this web page to document the severity of their compensatory sweating (CS) post ETS.

These are not the kind of photos ETS surgeons show prospective patients - but they should. Regardless what the chances of developing this level of CS are, patients should be informed that the side effects of ETS can be much, much worse than the original condition.
Thank you to the patient who created this web page, for sharing your story.
This is a New Zealand-based resource for people considering Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy (ETS) surgery for hyperhidrosis, facial blushing or other conditions, and for people living with the side effects of ETS surgery. Here, you can learn about the potential adverse side effects of ETS, a NZ ETS surgeon who has had formal complaints made about him, and more. As of 2012, the blog is no longer being updated but will remain as an information resource.
