Hello Rob,
We have a few that have had the extra cervical ribs over the years.
From what I recall , those with the extra c rib removal surgery usually had the best outcomes.
Of course finding an expert surgeon is very important, and being very careful post op.
Hopefully some of the others that actually had surgeries will see your post soon and reply.

From what I can recall...
I think for rib resections of the first rib, it is about a 2 month ?? recovery for return to daily activities.
I've seen hospital stays mentioned from 3 -7 days, longer if complicating factors.
There are so many variables it is really hard to compare though.
