A member asked:

Is transaxillary first rib resection effective and safe for neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rob resection: its not a brand new procedure. Your thoracic surgeon will answer your questions about potential outcome and complications. This procedure is done to relieve significant complications of the syndrome. How safe is it to continue with the first rib compression? You must weigh pros and cons of the procedure vs syndrome. ALL surgery is dangerous with potential for significant complications.
