About the Treatment
Sympathectomy is a type of minimally-invasive procedure (small incisions of 2–3 inches long, done under general anesthesia) which involves cauterizing (cutting and sealing) a portion of the sympathetic nerve chain that runs down the back inside the chest, parallel to the spine.
This operation permanently interrupts the nerve signal that is causing the body to sweat excessively.
Sympathectomy is performed to treat a condition known as hyperhidrosis. Hyperhydrosis is a condition characterized by abnormally increased sweating or perspiration in excess of that which is required for regulation of body temperature.
Sympathectomy is also used for facial blushing, some chronic pain conditions and Raynaud’s disease.

How to Minimize Medical Tourism Risks
CDC Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
-
If you are planning to travel to another country for medical care, see a your healthcare provider or travel medicine provider at least 4–6 weeks before the trip to discuss general information for healthy travel and learn about specific risks you may face because of your health status, the procedure, and travel before and after the procedure.
-
Obtain international travel health insurance that covers medical evacuation back to your country of origin.
-
Before planning vacation activities, such as swimming or taking tours, find out what activities are not permitted after the procedure.
-
Bring copies of your medical records with you, including results of lab tests and any other tests done related to your condition and care. Inform the medical staff at your destination of any allergies you may have.
-
Pack a travel health kit with your prescription and over-the-counter medicines. Bring enough medicine to last your whole trip, plus a little extra in case of delays. Also, bring copies of all your prescriptions and a list of medications you take, including their brand names, generic names, manufacturers, and dosages.
-
Get copies of all your medical records from the destination, before you return home. You may need to get them translated into English
-
Identify where you will be staying immediately after the procedure.
-
Before you travel abroad for medical tourism make sure you can get any needed follow-up care in your country of origin.
