I am wondering if it is still safe to undergo surgery despite when risks I am reading online. They said that if other treatments fail to bring relief, surgery may be considered. Surgery is permanent and carries risks. ETS is the most common surgery for hyperhidrosis. This is major surgery, which a surgeon performs in an operating room. The surgeon will cut or destroy certain nerves. To find these nerves, the surgeon inserts a mini surgical camera into the patient’s chest just beneath the underarm. The patient’s lung must be temporarily collapsed so that the surgeon can cut or destroy nerves. Permanent side effects occur. Loss of feeling in the underarm and scarring are mentioned possible.
