Trans-Cervical Approach To The Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
AbstractThoracic outlet syndrome is caused by compression of the neurovascular structures within the thoracic outlet leading to a collection of symptoms in the upper limb and shoulder. Identification of the causative factor is essential and thorough clinical examination using specific manoeuvres can aid in the diagnosis of this syndrome. Cervical rib is one of the causes for thoracic outlet syndrome and this manuscript will discuss the thoracic outlet syndrome, cervical rib, incidence, clinical presentation, diagnosis and management including surgical approaches with a focus on transcervical approach.

Thorough investigation is necessary in this situation before treatment is recommended. If the symptoms cannot be explained by other pathology than compression of the affected nerve and if conservative management has not provided improvement, reoperation may be considered.

Evaluating the effects of mobile application-based rehabilitation on improving disability and pain in patients with disputed thoracic outlet syndrome: A randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Mobile applications are promising tools for alleviating disabilities and pain in patients with musculoskeletal conditions. This study confirmed the potential of mobile technology to enhance active and corrective physical activity, thereby reducing pain in patients with D.TOS.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) with the identifier IRCT20141221020380N3 (http://www.irct.ir/).PMID:38479190 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijmedinf.2024.105400 (Source: Pain Physician)

Videothoracoscopic First Rib Resection for Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: Results of 13 Patients
CONCLUSION: The VATS approach in the resection of the first rib for thoracic outlet syndrome is a safe method. It should be performed with acceptable risks under experienced hands. The magnified view and optimal visualization from the scope are beneficial. Avoiding neurovascular bundle retraction may seem to decrease the postoperative pain.PMID:38417895 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.oa.23-00110 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)
