ETS Surgery is an Extremely Controversial Procedure and is Banned in Several Countries

I bet your doctor conveniently forgot to tell you that ETS surgery is banned in some countries. Am I correct?

The current ETS procedure was first performed in Sweden around 40 years ago but was then outlawed back in 2003 due to the excessively high number of patients acquiring new health problems and permanent side-effects that were way more severe than the sweating problems they were trying to overcome.

Other countries began to follow suit shortly after, including Taiwan, which banned the procedure on patients under 20 years of age. Several others introduced very tight restrictions, only allowing ETS to be performed in the most extreme circumstances and only after every other non-surgical treatment had failed.

Over the last 20 years, there have been so many advancements in non-surgical treatments for sweaty hands and hyperhydrosis that ETS surgery should really be banned right across the world.
