Learn About Thoracic Outlet Syndrome



I wanted to thank you for the excellent videos you and your colleagues provide about TOS. To have so many medical experts in this area give up their time to educate patients and practitioners about TOS is truly incredible. I have read many articles and joined online forums that have only left me discouraged and confused, but your resources give me hope!

From The History of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Peripheral Nerve Surgery

Many plastic surgeons specialize in peripheral nerve surgery. These surgeons diagnose and treat patients who develop entrapment of small nerves throughout the body. The surgeons have highly-detailed knowledge of nerve anatomy, and perform very detailed dissections of the surrounding tissues to free up the trapped nerves.

Given the anatomic complexity of the thoracic outlet, peripheral nerve surgeons are well-equipped to address entrapment of the brachial plexus with minimal surgery, as well as dedicated injections guided by ultrasound.
