Summary
This study details surgical treatment for cervical-costo-clavicular syndrome, highlighting common anatomical variations. The anterior surgical approach proved effective for decompression and symptom relief in patients.
Area of Science:
- Thoracic Surgery
- Anatomy
- Neurosurgery
Background:
- Cervical-costo-clavicular syndrome involves compression of neurovascular structures.
- Anatomical abnormalities like cervical ribs and fibrous bands are often implicated.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present surgical experience with cervical-costo-clavicular syndrome.
- To emphasize the frequent association of multiple anatomical alterations.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective review of 36 surgical interventions in 26 patients.
- Standardized anterior surgical approach with thoracic inlet exploration.
- Upper limb mobilization during surgery.
Main Results:
- Frequent co-occurrence of anatomical anomalies (scalenes, cervical rib, fibrous band) was observed.
- The anterior surgical approach was consistently utilized.
- Surgical outcomes were evaluated and discussed.
Conclusions:
- The anterior surgical approach is effective for cervical-costo-clavicular syndrome.
- Recognizing associated anatomical variations is crucial for successful surgical management.
