Robotically-Assisted Transthoracic Cervical Rib Resection.

We report a unique case of robotically-assisted transthoracic cervical rib resection for neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome. This minimally invasive technique offers delicate tissue manipulation under optimal visualization of the thoracic outlet structures. Hence, it promotes patient safety and complete surgical decompression. PMID: 29752917 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
