Your doctor at the consultation might tell you that there is a tiny chance that something will go wrong during the surgery, and due to damage of the nerves and/or arteries you might experience pain. However this pain might be or become extreme.
Now, the fact is that you do not need extra damage to any other nerves during surgery. The surgery itself is the damage that will induce this pain.
And it has nothing to do with having the surgery performed by an experienced surgeon. NO difference. They all do the same: disrupt, damage, cut, burn or clamp the sympathetic chain.
