There are a wide variety of treatment options for excessive hand sweating. However, the method of sympathectomy, called clip-on ETS , is a permanent and high-success treatment method for sweating in the form of dripping water and leaving your hand traces. The success rate after the sympathectomy with clip-on ETS is close to 100%. With the sympathectomy performed with the clip-on ETS, both excessive sweating in the hand and coldness in the hand, if any, are eliminated. Sympathectomy with clip-on ETS is performed under general anesthesia. Sympathectomy can be performed for both hands in a total of 30 minutes. It takes one hour in total for the patient to come to bed. Most of our patients are discharged on the same day. It takes about 2-7 days for them to start work. The effect of the sympathectomy performed with the clip-on ETS can be seen from the moment he comes out of the surgery and goes to bed. This effect is no longer temporary and continues for many years. Some of our patients with excessive hand sweating who underwent sympathectomy with clip-on ETS may sweat once or several times in the first week, but this is a temporary sweating and does not occur in the following days. There are two issues that patients with excessive hand sweating should know after the clip-on ETS and sympathectomy procedure. The most important of these is that they will definitely get rid of excessive hand sweating and if any, hand cold will also pass. The other is the side effects related to the sympathectomy performed with the clip-on ETS. The first side effect of the sympathectomy procedure performed with the clip-on ETS is chest pain and stinging that started after the operation. It is stated that these complaints are a little more in the first awakening period from anesthesia. Some people complain of not being able to take a deep breath at that time. All this decreases significantly over the following hours. After the patients ate their meals 4 hours later, their complaints regressed significantly. Some of our patients state that the sympathectomy procedure performed with the clip-on ETS is not that painful. As a result, pain differs because it is a personal perception. Regardless, all pain complaints are resolved in patients who underwent sympathectomy with clip-on ETS. In some cases, these pains vary from person to person, ranging from 1 week to 1 month. However, these pains are not in a way that prevents work and movements. They get a lot of relief with medication. In addition, the patient is very happy when the excessive sweating of the hands, which he has suffered for many years, has passed. This happiness makes most patients forget their pain. Reflex sweating is another issue to be aware of in the clip-on ETS and sympathectomy for excessive hand sweating. After the sympathectomy with the clip-on ETS performed as a result of excessive sweating, the patients initially experience an increase in sweating in other parts of the body, such as the trunk, back, chest, hips, between the legs and folds of the patients. In the future, this reflex sweating decreases, although it varies from person to person. However, in some of the patients, this amount of sweating can continue. For now, it is not possible to know who will start this reflex sweating and in whom it will be permanent. As it is known, sweating is important for our body. For this reason, we do not stop all sweating with the clip-on ETS sympathectomy procedure. For this reason, the body will look for another area to sweat after the hands that have been sweating excessively for many years are cut with the clip-on ETS in as little as 30 minutes. He will want to take his deficit here from another region. Therefore, reflex sweating begins. However, reflex sweating returns to normal in most patients. Reflex sweating continues in a small amount and place where it does not want. In people who continue to have excessive sweating as a reflex, these excessive sweats are tried to be controlled with other alternative treatments.
