Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy for Underarm Sweating
ETS is a very effective treatment in permanently stopping underarm sweating (92%). It is performed under general anaesthesia. At the Britisih Sweating centre we specialize highly selective sympathectomy of T3 and T4 nerves when armpit sweating is the only problem.
This technique provides very good results and preserves the T2 nerve that allows sweating to still occur in the face. By performing this method, it substantially reduces any unwanted side effects that can occur with ETS.
