It might be wise to ask more questions of your surgeon after exploring our TOS sticky threads..
knowledge is good..
Ask what type of TOS you have..If you aren't sure..
Nerve, Vascular ( vein or artery), or undetermined/mix .. some have pec minor syndrome in addition or as a main issue..some have unusual scalene muscles as a factor..
Vascular type is usually better outcomes, but still need a experienced surgeon, due to all the important structures in the neck areas..


Some things to consider when deciding on surgery...
What is your avg daily pain level ?
How much do symptoms affect your daily life?
Have you had good quality /expert PT /Chiro or other therapies?
Good/expert therapy can often take months or years, depending on home follow up consistency and if work or aggravating activity is continued during therapy.
