Surgical and Functional Outcomes After Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Decompression via Supraclavicular Approach: A 10-Year Single Centre Experience

Abstract

Background: Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) results from compression of the neurovascular structures in the region of thoracic outlet. Treatment depends on the variant (venous, arterial, neurological or any combination of these), severity of symptoms and response to the conservative management. The aim was to assess surgical and functional outcomes after surgical decompression using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire.
