Gender, age, family history, and distribution of sweating were similar in both groups. Recurrence rates 1 and 2 years after endoscopic thoracic ganglionectomy were between 0% and 3% in T2 and T3 resection, and between 15% and 19% in T2 resection only. In the combined T2 and T3 resection group, 100% of patients noticed compensatory sweating; in T2 resection, 90% of patients noticed compensatory sweating.

unable to establish the etiology of redistribution of perspiration
Bilateral upper thoracic sympathicolysis is followed by redistribution of body perspiration, with a clear decrease in the zones regulated by mental or emotional stimuli, and an increase in the areas regulated by environmental stimuli, though we are unable to establish the etiology of this redistribution.

diarrhea associated with disordered motility

Disordered motility or regulation can produce secretory diarrhea. Secretory diarrhea associated with disordered motility can occur in patients who have undergone vagotomy or sympathectomy, patients with autonomic neuropathy from diabetes or amyloidosis, and probably patients with irritable bowel syndrome.

Sympathectomy, whether chemical or surgical, leads to diarrhea
The sympathetic nervous system in the intestinal mucosa releases
norepinephrine (an a2 antagonist) and so inhibits electrolyte secretion and stimulates absorption. Sympathectomy, whether chemical or surgical, leads to diarrhea, at least transiently. Chronic diabetics with autonomic neuropathy sometimes develop persistent diarrhea that is associated with degeneration of adrenergic nerve fibers to the gut. Somatostatin and endogenous enkephalins are also antisecretory.
