  • Title: Robotically Assisted Transthoracic Cervical Rib Resection.
    Author: Wybaillie E, Maene L, Cooreman F, Beelen R.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2018 Nov; 106(5):e253-e255. PubMed ID: 29752917.
    Abstract:
    Several different approaches to surgical decompression of the thoracic outlet have been described. This report describes 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 patients' safety and complete surgical decompression.
