Utilization and Effectiveness of Pectoralis Minor Tenotomy in the Surgical Management of Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Pectoralis minor tenotomy (PMT) has an important role in surgical treatment of NTOS, mainly as an adjunct in combination with SCD. While highly selected patients can do well after isolated PMT as a short outpatient procedure with rapid recovery, there is a greater potential for poor outcomes and supraclavicular reoperation than after SCD + PMT.
