Any surgery, including hand sweating surgery, carries risks, and whether the risks are manageable or not is determined by the surgeon’s complete understanding of the condition, the use of sound surgical protocols and procedures, and the level of proficiency with which he or she performs the surgery. When surgery is performed under the supervision of a minimally invasive surgeon, the risk can be zero. The branches of the sympathetic chain are cut off during surgery for early hand sweating, and since they are normal tissue structures that carry out important functions in the body, improper removal of the branches can cause unintentional side injuries during treatment. Proper selection of the surgical method, effective communication with the doctor, and a thorough understanding of the condition by the doctor can reduce the risk of the surgery, and usually result in a satisfactory outcome after the surgery.
