So probably all of you are aware of ETS and it's use for supposedly curing hyperhidrosis and facial blushing. From all of my research it seems that ETS should ONLY be performed on people with palmar hyperhidrosis or palmar and another form and not really for facial blushing.
I'm also wondering why soooo many different surgeon's have different techniques, some only cut or clamp the T2 for palmar some T3 alone some says T4 alone and some do a inbetween the ganglia T3-T4 or T2-T3. I think that to say that a specific T nerve controls a specific area of sweating like the palms or the head or the armpits is inaccurate. I believe that the truth is , that no matter what T level you cut or clamp you're going to be dry from the hands and from the nipple line up for the most part. Do you all agree. I think that these surgeons are just trying to say they've figured out a way to lessen compensatory sweating or other side effects by advertising a certain method. For example, I thought T3 is the safest method for curing hand sweating without too much compensatory sweating, but I've talked to someone who had T3 cut for palmar hyperhidrosis and he's experiencing grave side effects. I think the truth is these surgeon's are still experimenting trying to see what effect will take place when they intervene or clamp or cut a certain T nerve.
And also to say that the clamping method is reversible is a load of crap in my opinion, yes there is a chance your nerve can regenerate somewhat if you get it out in time but hellooo in order for the operation to be successful you have to destroy the nerve or the pathway from the brain to the nerve to the sweat glands. Right? They need to get this figured out, I'm tired of thinking of ETS as a solution and hearing how for one person it can change their life and another person ruin it. It doesn't make sense.
