OBJECTIVE: Thoracic outlet syndrom is a condition caused by compression of the subclavian artery, subclavian vein and/or the brachial plexus. Scalene muscle section and first rib removal is the most effective treatment. The objective of this article is to demonsrate first rib resection using videothoracoscopy. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We describe first rib removal by videothoracoscopy using three 12mm entrance ports (although one is widened to 3cm to introduce periosteotomy cutters and rib shears). We have performed this operation on three cases of thoracic outlet syndrome with very good results. CONCLUSIONS: Removal of the first rib by videothoracoscopy is a viable and very aesthetic technique with a low morbidity. It is a very good option for the majority of patients affected by this syndrome, particularly in obese patients or those with Pager-Schroetter syndrome. |
