It seems to me that if the surgery is done through a transaxillary approach(Gelabert/Freischlag/others), the doctor wouldn't have access or full visualization of the plexus to even do a complete neurolysis?

For Donahue patients (supraclavicular approach) -- does he typically do a neurolysis with the initial procedure?

Any info or thoughts would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance...
