Minimally Invasive Techniques for Intercostal Nerve Transfer: A Technical Note on Thoracoscopic and Robotic Approaches
This demonstrates a cadaveric proof of concept for the minimally invasive intrathoracic approach to harvest IC nerves for brachial plexus injuries through both the VATS and robotic techniques. Future studies are warranted for intrathoracic approaches to reanimate other peripheral nerves.
