Heya Nellyzen-
Really sorry to hear this, such a let down
I'm currently researching options between partial and full rib resections and there seems to be some research on success of re-ops after partial rib resections. What Veetos said is spot on!!
A number of people on here have mentioned Dr Donahue for their re-ops, and the is emerging researching on the need for full rib resection for complete recovery and avoiding developing the issue again.
Can't seem to find the article ATM, but drs Lum, Reifsnyder, and Freischlag and Johns Hopkins did a few papers on it, and reop can have a good chance as long as the issue has been identified.

Tried to catch up on some of your previous posts to familiarize myself with your case. Who was your surgeon?
