As with any surgical procedure, there is some level of risk for the procedure. There are few risks involved with thoracoscopic surgery. Some are related to general anesthesia, chest surgery, and some are related specifically to TS SYM. These include bleeding, infection and pneumothorax or lung collapse. Those risks specific to sympathectomy include Compensatory Sweating and Horner’s Syndrome.
