The amount of compensatory sweating depends on the patient, the damage that the white rami communicans incurs, and the amount of cell body reorganization in the spinal cord after surgery.
Other potential complications include inadequate resection of the ganglia, gustatory sweating, pneumothorax, cardiac dysfunction, post-operative pain, and finally Horner’s syndrome secondary to resection of the stellate ganglion.

There is the possibility that your best interests, and medical well-being, may not be at the heart of such offers

the International Hyperhidrosis Society warns patients considering surgical options for the treatment of hyperhidrosis to get multiple expert physician opinions on whether surgery is really the best course of treatment for their individual situations. Please also be cautious if surgery clinics or healthcare professionals offer to pay for travel expenses incurred so you can visit their clinics. There is the possibility that your best interests, and medical well-being, may not be at the heart of such offers.
