Over the last several years more ETS procedures have been done and obviously since the number of cases has gone up tremendously also the number of cited side effects are on the rise. Side effects, such as fatigue, hair loss, loss of concentration, scalp itchiness, weight gain, shortness of breath, reduction of exercise ability and were all mentioned in an anecdotal fashion by different patients. It should be stressed that this is again on an anecdotal basis and not appearing in a significant number of patients. (sic!) Not every side effect could be related definitely to the sympathectomy but overall those kind of side effects were mentioned by patients in the past. Any question should be directed to the surgeon before making any decision about the operation.
