Video-assisted thoracic surgery and robotic-assisted first-rib excision and thoracic outlet syndrome decompression.
Seminars in Vascular Surgery 2024 March
Multiple surgical approaches have been used in the management of thoracic outlet syndrome. These approaches have traditionally been "open" approaches and have been associated with the inherent morbidities of an open approach, including a risk of injury to the neurovascular structures due to traction and trauma while resecting the first rib. In addition, there has been concern that recurrence of symptoms may be related to incomplete resection of the rib with conventional open techniques. With the advent of minimally invasive thoracic surgery, surgeons began to explore first-rib resection via a thoracoscopic approach. Unfortunately, the existing video-assisted thoracic surgery technology and equipment was not well suited to working in the apex of the chest. With the introduction and subsequent progress in robotic surgery and instrumentation, this dissection can be performed with all the advantages of robotics, but also with minimal traction and trauma to the neurovascular structures, and incorporates almost complete resection of the rib with minimal residual stump. Robotics has developed as a reliable, safe, and less invasive approach to first-rib resection, yielding excellent results while limiting the morbidity of the procedure.
