“…In an effort to standardize TOS diagnosis and reporting, the Society of Vascular Surgery (SVS) published an executive summary in 2016 ( 40 ). This has been adopted by several institutions which have published their experience in managing patients with TOS since then ( 12 , 41 ). In particular, they suggest that in order to diagnose NTOS at least three out of four criteria are required.…”

“…They argued for a safest procedure to decompress the tension on the neurovascular bundle in patients with TOS compared to existing open techniques ( 57 ). As the instruments for video-assisted procedures became more sophisticated, the team evolved their practice and kept publishing their experience throughout the years ( 41 , 77 ). From 2003 and onwards, they used the daVinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc, Sunnyvale, CA) to perform transaxillary FRR.…”

“…From 2003 and onwards, they used the daVinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc, Sunnyvale, CA) to perform transaxillary FRR. In their most recent publications, they reflect their transition from video-assisted to robotic-assisted FRR in patients with TOS ( 41 , 77 ). Based on their experience, the authors support the superiority of the robot and explore its potential on specific patient categories.…”

“…Similarly to many other aspects of TOS, there is no universally accepted surgical approach for excising the first rib. These can be categorized to open (10,(57)(58)(59)(60)(61), video-assisted (62)(63)(64)(65)(66)(67)(68)(69) and robotic-assisted procedures (12,26,(41)(42)(43)(70)(71)(72)(73)(74)(75)(76)(77). The traditional procedures for the treatment of FRR have been performed via open surgery using posterior thoracotomy (58,59), transaxillary (10), supra-or infra-clavicular approaches (61).…”

BackgroundThoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a pathological condition caused by a narrowing between the clavicle and first rib leading to a compression of the neurovascular bundle to the upper extremity. The incidence of TOS is probably nowadays underestimated because the diagnosis could be very challenging without a thorough clinical examination along with appropriate clinical testing. Beside traditional supra-, infraclavicular or transaxillary approaches, the robotic assisted first rib resection has been gaining importance in the last few years.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of all patients who underwent robotic assisted first rib resection due to TOS at Lucerne Cantonal Hospital and then we performed a narrative review of the English literature using PubMed, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Scopus.ResultsBetween June 2020 and November 2021, eleven robotic assisted first rib resections were performed due to TOS at Lucerne Cantonal Hospital. Median length of stay was 2 days (Standard Deviation: +/– 0.67 days). Median surgery time was 180 min (Standard Deviation: +/– 36.5). No intra-operative complications were reported.ConclusionsRobotic assisted first rib resection could represent a safe and feasible option in expert hands for the treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome.

The Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is a clinical potentially disabling condition characterized by a group of upper extremity signs and symptoms due to the compression of the neurovascular bundle passing through the thoracic outlet region. Because of the non-specific nature of signs and symptoms, to the lack of a consensus for the objective diagnosis, and to the wide range of etiologies, the actual figure is still a matter of debate among experts. We aimed to summarize the current evidence about the pathophysiology, the diagnosis and the treatment of the thoracic outlet syndrome, and to report a retrospective analysis on 324 patients followed for 5 years at the Padua University Hospital and at the Naples Fatebenefratelli Hospital in Italy, to verify the effectiveness of a specific rehabilitation program for the syndrome and to evaluate if physical therapy could relieve symptoms in these patients.
