A member asked:
Can you please tell me about the ets surgery for hyperhydrosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
First evaluation: Best care starts first in family physician's office. Surgery can be quite successful for appropriate candidates. While done often by experienced thoracic surgeons (vats), it is chest surgery (major surgery). There are risks and benefits. Appropriate candidates should be selected.
