Your Surgeon's Definition of a Successful Surgery is Different To Yours (And Everybody Else's)

People undergo surgery for a zillion reasons, and I think it's fair to say it is expected that we come out the other side far better than what we were before surgery. After all, that's why you undergo surgery in the first place, right? And that also means coming out without any new 'problems,' complications or injuries.

Unfortunately, when it comes to sweaty hands and ETS surgery, the only outcome surgeons are concerned with is whether your hands stop sweating. And as long as your hands do stop sweating, your procedure is considered by your surgeon to be a complete success.

But is it really a success if you are now left with a dozen new injuries you didn't have before?

ETS surgeons are quickly gaining a bad reputation for not being upfront with patients about all the new medical issues brought on by ETS surgery. Surgeons cannot isolate just the one signal that tells your hands when to sweat.

However, this procedure there are many new impairments created at the same time that seem to be deliberately ignored by your surgeon. I remember my surgeon blatantly denying my injuries and said this surgery doesn't cause that, even though I was completely fine the morning before my surgery and the 48 years prior.

Just bear in mind that your surgeon will not be proactive in helping you identify what new injuries you are left with, and due to the possibility of legal action will never admit to them.
