Interesting that you ask that question. I was just reading online the other day that instead of having the rib resection and scalenectomy, just removing the scalene is another method.
I'm set to have the rib resection and scalenectomy done next week, however, I would be curious to know what you find, as I am a candidate for my right side surgery as well.
Take care.
