Endoscopic-Assisted Transaxillary Approach for First-Rib Resection and Neurolysis in Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.


ABSTRACT: Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a complex disorder with signs and symptoms resulting from compression of the brachial plexus and subclavian vessels. Although transaxillary first-rib resection is a well-established surgical treatment for patients with symptomatic TOS, this approach sometimes does not allow adequate exposure of the insertion point of the middle scalene muscle to the posterior part of the first rib and neurovascular bundle. The objective of this Technical Note is to describe an endoscopic-assisted transaxillary approach for first-rib resection and neurolysis. An endoscopic-assisted transaxillary approach for first-rib resection in TOS can provide excellent magnified visualization and safely allow sufficient decompression of the neurovascular bundle.
