An information resource on ETS surgery and its potential side effects

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.

As of 2012, the blog is no longer being updated but will remain as an information resource.
