It has been shown in animals that sympathectomy of one side of the
body leads to an increase in the development of tumors on the denervated side [80].
This suggest that interference with the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) can lead to a
compromise of the body's immune system [81–82].

Postural hypotenson following sympathectomy
- postural hypotension (POS-tu-ral hi-po-TEN-shun)
- –low blood pressure condition that frequently follows the operation of splanchnicectomy or sympathectomy.http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:b4FpIa0ycBMJ:www.haabet.dk/SpencerSystem1952/Glossary.html+muscle+atrophy+sympathectomy+inflammation&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=25&gl=au&client=firefox-a
Hyperthermia following sympathectomy
a significant number of patients develop a tendency for
hyperthermia involving the extremity. This hyperthermia is more commonly seen among the patients
who have received multiple sympathetic ganglion nerve blocks. This is what is referred to as
"virtual sympathectomy".
