Abstract
Four cases are presented in which complications occurred during or after thoracic endoscopic sympathectomy (TES). In one patient inappropriate TES resulted in disabling hyperhidrosis. In one patient laceration of the subclavian artery required major surgery. In two cases intraoperative cerebral damage occurred. Training in TES is essential.
