Cadaver? You mean corpse, right? I am all for calling things by their rightful name.
I wonder how long the sympathetic chain stays 'alive' after one dies. I suspect that it becomes a dead tissue pretty soon, (no blood supply, no oxygen) so it can be substituted by anything else that is lifeless, like plastic tube or something similarly ridiculous.
As far as I can tell, a pretty useless exercise, but you can try to convince me otherwise.

If anyone undergoing this surgery is deliriously happy after, and would undergo it again and again, why on earth do these doctors think of reversing the 'almost miraculous' surgery? Isn't it odd?!

Also: on this page Reisfeld offers:
"In this part, the resumption of nerve conduction and return to normal sympathetic regulation (1) is a matter that is different from one patient to another and the amount of information that we have about it is very minimal. The process can take a long time and initial symptoms of recovery will not always show before 6 to 9 months after the reversal. So far, those cases done by Dr. Reisfeld show some improvements. (2) The improvements can be seen in lessening of compensatory sweating, better ability to perform exercises, (3)returning of sweat to the facial area and upper body, (4) and hence better cooling of the upper body regions."

1 - is he saying that with ETS/ESB there is an abnormal sympathetic regulation?!
2 - He can not substantiate.
3 - is he saying that ETS will reduce endurance and capacity for physical activity?!
4 - is he saying that after surgery for sweaty palms one will not sweat on the upper body? Is he saying that with ETS the cooling of the upped body is dysfunctional or worse?

Are these effects disclosed to prospective ETS patients?
