Cell body reorganization in the spinal cord after elective surgery to treat sweaty palms

The amount of compensatory sweating depends on the patient, the damage that the white rami communicans incurs, and the amount of cell body reorganization in the spinal cord after surgery.
Other potential complications include inadequate resection of the ganglia, gustatory sweating, pneumothorax, cardiac dysfunction, post-operative pain, and finally Horner’s syndrome secondary to resection of the stellate ganglion.

The most common complication is post-sympathectomy neuralgia

"The most common complication is post-sympathectomy neuralgia"



Neural Blockade in Clinical Anesthesia and Management of Pain By Michael J. Cousins,



 "The most common complication is post-sympathectomy neuralgia.... The reported incidence has varied widely between studies, from around 30% to 50%. Whether the sympathectomy is achieved by open surgical resection or percutaneous techniques does not seem to influence the incidence."



Vascular Surgery: Principles and Practice by Robert W. Hobson, Samuel E. Wilson, Frank J. Veith - 2004 - Medical - 1600 pages



Postsympathectomy neuralgia is a constant and annoying feature of sympathectomy, and the patient should be forewarned."
