Complications and clinical benefits of the combined supra- and infraclavicular approach in neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome

Although the combined approach presents a numerically higher complication rate, the difference is not statistically significant, and all complications were transient. Its superior anatomical exposure and higher rate of clinical improvement support the combined approach as a safe and advantageous surgical option for patients with suspected multilevel nTOS compression.

Abstract

Although the combined approach presents a numerically higher complication rate, the difference is not statistically significant, and all complications were transient. Its superior anatomical exposure and higher rate of clinical improvement support the combined approach as a safe and advantageous surgical option for patients with suspected multilevel nTOS compression.
