nerve repair, question

Post by sess »

I had a surgery called "transthoracic sympathectomy" (ETS) it is used to cure palmar hyperhidrosis. In this procedure the T2 (2nd thoracic nerve) is cut. I am educating myself on nerve grafting, because the outcome of the surgery, has lead me into a state of depression due to the side effects. My questions are; can this nerve be grafted and/or bonded back together? Has anyone had experience with this type of procedure? Please share input, comments or questions
