Hyperhidrosis RecurrenceAny operation being a technical procedure can have a certain amount of recurrences. The ETS procedure can also have recurrences and it does not make any difference which method was used (clamping, cutting, or excisional method). Recurrences have been reported in medical studies and it ranges between 1 to 4% depending how careful follow-ups are made with the patients. The exact reason for recurrence is unknown yet. Most likely the reason for this is re-growth of the nerve or the immergence of new pathways. In contrast to what has been written on other websites I would like to emphasize again that the recurrence rate is known fact among surgeons who are performing ETS procedures. It is not unique to any particular methods and it presents an enigma as to why it happens and when. The clamping method if it is done at the T3-T4 level gives an opportunity in those recurrent cases to go back to the level T2 and re perform the operation. Also in contrast to what has been written on other websites, the clamping method does not produce more scars. As a matter of fact performing ETS with the clamping method with less cauterization in the area of the sympathectomy causes much less scar formation than in the cutting method. Is a Redo operation an option?Yes, a surgeon can go back and repeat the same operation. Each case must be reviewed carefully as many factors have to be considered. The re-recurrence rate is extremely low. Each case has to be discussed with the surgeon before a second attempt is made.
