[This is what my brilliant TOS buddy deducted so far:
1. Filler and some of the studies say scalenectomies (?)/neuroplasties
but no rib removal
2. Annest says rib removal and no scalenectomies, he makes a "concerted effort not to resect the scalene muscles because I have found that with muscle resection there is an increased incidence of recurrent scar formation".
3. Ahn says rib removal and scalenectomies ]
Oh gosh what a disparity of choices??
I haven't needed any surgical consults at all so I really can only say maybe less is best??
Have they all seen you in person and all your films to come up with such diverse options??
maybe I read it wrong?? is that a general list of those drs and their preferred options?
I think if you go to Denver for surgery you have to have the consult with them also?? { I don't think they will do a surgery based on another drs consult??} Unless you need to get the consult w/ahn to get approved for Denver?
I hope the others will pop in soon with some thoughts for you.
If you are able to do a detailed list of all your TOS type symptoms we might be able to {maybe } sort out what we might think the problems are at {maybe } had to add a second maybe in there LOL
