Always surgical risk: Modern tos surgery is relatively safe, with good success rates, but surgery is not always perfect. Complication rates have dropped dramatically over the past years, but rarely, post-op pain, scapular winging, diaphagmatic elevation, increased arm weakness, and even local bleeding may present. Most of this is readily reversible. The risk of anesthesia is extremely low these days.
