After ETS surgery, most patients will sweat profusely from areas of the body such as the belly, lower back, crotch, and legs. This is called compensatory sweating or reflex sweating.

Compensatory sweating refers to sweating occurring in sites other than the original site of hyperhidrosis. This may occur in approximately 50 percent of patients and occurs immediately or months after the surgery. Sometimes the compensatory sweating will resolve.
