Interest in Endoscopic Surgery and ETS:
With the introduction of endoscopic techniques in this country, he recognized the enormous potential of this new, less invasive type of surgery. His interest led him to study these techniques in the United States as well as in Europe. He has been a pioneer in laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery within his community. He now focuses much of his practice on endoscopic transthoracic sympathectomy.

Dr. Garza's Personal Interest in Hyperhidrosis:
Dr. Garza has a mild case of hyperhidrosis that diminished in his late teenage years. The syndrome still involves his face. His mother and his brother's young adult son are also afflicted with this disorder. His mother has severe facial blush as well as sweating. She is not a candidate for an ETS due to advanced age. His nephew has recently developed early signs of palmar and pedal hyperhidrosis. Dr. Garza believes that his personal background led him into learning more about this syndrome.
