  1. There is potentially a number of safety issues associated with this procedure

    Australian Review of ETS surgery
    "A lack of high quality randomised trial evidence on ETS means that it is difficult to make a judgment on the safety and effectiveness of this technique. There is potentially a number of safety issues associated with this procedure. ASERNIP-s suggests that a full systematic review including all available comparative and case series information, together with clinical inpuut, should be undertaken to provide up-to-date and comprehensive assessment of the safety and effectiveness of ETS." (ASERNIP-s Report No. 71, August 2009)

  2. Post-sympathectomy neuralgia is proposed here to be a complex neuropathic and central deafferentation/reafferentation syndrome dependent on: (a) the transection, during sympathectomy, of paraspinal somatic and visceral afferent axons within the sympathetic trunk; (b) the subsequent cell death of many of the axotomized afferent neurons, resulting in central deafferentation; and (c) the persistent sensitization of spinal nociceptive neurons by painful conditions present prior to sympathectomy. Viscerosomatic convergence, collateral sprouting of afferents, and mechanisms associated with sympathetically maintained pain are all proposed to be important to the development of the syndrome.

  4. results of ETS deteriorate and compensatory sweating does not improve with time

    Our findings indicate that results of ETS deteriorate and compensatory sweating does not improve with time. It is mandatory to inform patients of the potential long-term adverse effects before surgery.

  5. Extreme caution is called for when considering surgical sympathectomy

    Surgical sympathectomy is carried out on the basis of poor quality evidence, studies without control groups, and personal experience. Though it would appear logical (and has been suggested) that surgical sympathectomy is indicated primarily for patients with confirmed
    'sympathetic-dependent pain, other authors take the view that the treatment results are not correlated to this. Eighteen percent of patients undergoing sympathectomy for
    neuropathic pain experience compensatory hyperhidrosis and 25% experience neuropathic complications.
    Extreme caution is called for when considering surgical sympathectomy for pain control in CRPS-I. The procedure should be conducted in the context of a trial in order to ascertain
    the efficacy and potential risks.

  6. Thoracic sympathectomy can result in reduced sweating and disturbed peripheral vascular and heart rate responses. Patients should be warned that these mechanisms may play a role in the development of exertional heat stroke.

  7. Sympathectomy alters bone architecture

    sympathectomy caused a negative balance of bone metabolism, leading to decreased mass by regulating deposition rather than resorption during modelling and remodelling of bone.

  8. We describe a patient who underwent upper thoracic sympathectomy for palmar hyperhidrosis, and whose symptoms subsequently deteriorated, becoming worse than those on initial presentation.
