Default scalenectomy vs. first rib resectioning
Does anyone know the pro and cons of just having the scalenectomy done? I am scheduled for surgery on March 3rd and the Dr plans on doing the scalenectomy and removing another muscle in my brachial plexus. The Dr said he has equivalent results without removing the rib and I'm just wondering about other people's experiences.
