What are the benefits of ETS?
ETS surgery will alter the function of many organs, glands and muscles. Viewed one at a time, and depending on the original complaint, many of these effects could be considered a benefit. For example, ETS typically will lower heart rate and contraction strength. If the patient feels their heart is overactive, such as in panic attacks, the lowered cardiac output could be considered a benefit. It is thought (but not clinically proven) that ETS will lower the risk of heart arythmia and palpitations. As another example, ETS will cause blood vessels in the skin to be paralyzed fully dilated. If the patient feels their blood vessels are overly constricted, as in Raynaud’s syndrome, this could be considered a benefit. The most common example, of course, is sweating. ETS will stop all sweating in the denerved area. If the patient believes they sweat excessively, this could be considered a benefit.
