well, as i understnad it, the reason a first rib resection is used for TOS so often is precisely because it can address many many sources of compression with one procedure.
I did an awful lot of reading and question asking, and drawing with different surgeons before i finally became comfortable with this idea....
even the best doctors don't neccessarily understand all of it. I had things i liked and agreed with and things i didn't like or agree with for each of the 5 surgeons i talked to before making a surgery decision. Also, none of them really get along with each other or agree with the others' approaches. It is pretty weird, actually.
