What is the difference between the procedure with clips and the one where the chain ganglia are cut?
The advocates of the clip method emphasize the reversibility of the procedure: if the pacient is not happy with the result or in case compensatory hyperhidrosis is very unpleasant, a reintervention is performed and the metallic clips are removed. In reality, for a nerve that has been mechanically traumatized a long period of time (months) it’s possible that it cannot return to the state preceding the procedure.
