Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy

Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy

Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) is a minimally invasive procedure that can treat different types of hyperhidrosis, including armpit sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis), sweaty palms (palmar hyperhidrosis) and excessive facial sweating and blushing.

Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy surgery is performed by a thoracic surgeon the operating room. Although we do not performed this procedure at the Alberta Sweat Clinic we may help facilitate a referral to a thoracic surgeon (referral from your Family Physician to the Alberta Sweat Clinic required) or alternatively you may consult your Family Physician to arrange for a thoracic surgery consultation.
