Cool Smirk How I chose my surgeon

So, At long last, I think I am ready to post the "how I chose my surgeon" post.

For anyone who is interested in my TOS story, here is a good place to start

To summarize, I am in Los Angeles, I have bilateral TOS with some decided differences in symptoms from the right to the left. On the right side of my symptoms are primarily in my hands fourth and fifth digit numbness/tingling, numbness in my wrist that is almost constant, snd general pain in neck and traps.

Left side- severe pain in neck and traps that never goes away and i have that same butcher knife that Dimarie always talks about sticking in right about where my rhomboid is. I get spasms all the way up and down my back, which make it so that I can even sit in a chair for too long. I get occasional numbness and tingling in my fourth and fifth digit, and only recently realized that I have a place on the inside of my thumb and forearm that's constantly numb.

So, even though my hands don't bother me as much on the left side. It is the one I am choosing to have surgery on first because my back bothers me so much.

I visited 5 surgeons-and I'll post my stories, However, a word of caution, I found my own experiences with these various doctors to be different than what I had expected based on stories from this board.

So If you are looking for a surgeon - visit as many as you can and ask as many questions as you can to get the most complete picture of how that surgeon would approach your own specific case.


Lastly, I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone who shared their experiences with me, either by posting on the board or by p.m.. I found them to be very helpful, and they gave me a deeper understanding of each person to my own experience. These accounts also helped guide me to asking the correct questions for things that seemed like warning signs for issues.

Now before I lose all of this somehow into cyberspace , I will submit it and continue on in a new post.

Default Choosing which surgeons to visit

My concerns most certainly are not the same as other people on this board. My considerations IN ORDER are as follows with the first 2 far exceeding everything else.

An excellent surgeon, who would perform an excellent surgery
To receive the correct surgery for my specific symptoms


only important for surgeons of equal merit on counts 1 and 2:

Good pain control after surgery
Close to home
Good bedisde manner, hospital stay, etc.

Aftercare/support system was not a big issue for me in LA because I have good support form my husband and our parents who will come out to help us for my surgeries.

Insurance was also not a big factor as I am on my own personal insurance (no worker's comp issues)


My primary concern was to figure out what the right procedure was for me, and then get the best available surgeon to do it. I was unsure if a scalenectomy or a rib resection was the right way to go. Therefore I concentrated on visiting surgeons with excellent technical reputations that did the various procedures.

to save time, I eliminated some doctors sight unseen because I thought that visiting them would be a duplication of visiting a similar doctor. For instance, I eliminated Gelabert and Annest sight unseen because I thoughtthat I attained my goals by visiting Ahn and Brantigbut that is the logic I used not to visit those two doctors. It was nothing personal and there wasn't anything particularly that I didn't like about them.

I approach this by visiting doctors In asking which procedure they would suggest, and why. I did not expect to talk any doctor into doing a procedure he didn't want to. I figured that the best approach was to pick a doctor based on which procedure I thought was right for me

Using this logic, I visited the following doctors from Mid March until yesterday....

Dr. Filler
Dr. Ahn
Dr. Weaver
Dr. Brantigan
Dr. Sanders

more to come....

I like the logical and systematic way you did this- i think this will a great thread for many new to idea of surgery and surgeons and how to approach the decision.

Default Dr AHn and his Junior assoc Dr Reil

Thansk, Jo

So moving on then....

Saw Dr Ahn First...except that I didn't really see him, I saw his junior associate Dr Reil. Since my primary Neuro is Dr. Jordan and they all work together frequently, basically I was told on the first visit that they would want an SSEP to rule out Carpal Tunnel and Ulnar Tunnel, a left scalene block to confirm the dx on the left side (i wasn't too jazzed about this bc they wanted to do it with no anestesia...) but that basically, sure they'd be happy to remove my rib transaxiallarily (sp?), and they removed all but 4" of the middle and anterior scalene muscles in that operation. I was also told 25% of those patients have to come back a year later for complete removal of those scalenes with is done supraclavicularly.

I was not really in the mood for 25% chance of second surgery.

They also made recovery sound like a breeze...oh yeah
i'd be up and around and happy in a week,
no lifting restrictions,
could drive as soon as i wasn't on narcotics anymore (2weeks?),
insurance wouldn't pay for a second night in the hospital so i only got one but I wouldn't care, i'd be ready and happy to go home...
and finally, they could do the second side 4-6 weeks after the initial procedure but I'd feel "pretty beat up"

At the time is sounded so easy...sign me up, right? Ahn is a good surgeon, surely it will be fine.

Well, in talking with my neuro later he said maybe to expect more like 6 weeks to three months recovery (what surgeon who wants you to feel comfy is going to tell you that straight up?) and suggested that all surgeons have better memories for their easy patients and that they tend to refer the hard ones to someone else so they aren't sitting around the waiting room complaining about how miserable they are


I got the SSEP, not too painful, came back normal. Put off the left scalene block as long as possible hoping to talk them out of it. I was eventually successful in that when I met Dr Ahn directly, but I'll tell how and why later...

As a side note, Dr. Ahn's office runs very efficiently. Michael, the guy at the front desk, is super friendly and always knows who I am when I walk in the door. He has gotten anything I needed super fast and always with a smile. My appointments were always pretty much on time as well.

Default Dr. Filler

I also saw Dr Filler early on in the process. As the lone scalenectomy provider in LA of course he was going to be on my list.

Surgery aside, I was definitely curious about the MR Neurography. For me, I think it has been the most successful test next to Dr. Jordan's ultrasound in finding the anatomical anomalies.

I went to see him twice in his office, and he ran miserably late both times. The second time I had called ahead and arrived late so it wasn't a big deal. The first time I was running late myself and got to his office all smelly because I hadn't had time to take a shower....I wasn't any better after waiting two hours for him, but I guess he got what he deserved!!!

SHeila was very nice, the Nurse practitioner, she took my history and then went to report to him. It felt a little disjointed, though....like I didn't know how much she had told him of what i told her. HE also talked to the ceiling the whole time i was there which was kind of annoying...however, i wokr at a company of very bright but socially maladjusted engineers, so i am sort of used to this stuff.

I was somewhat alarmed that after talking to me that first appt, he seemed willing to operate without even taking an MR neurography. That was my first warning sign. In any case, I had just had my second round of Botox injections at the time, so I wasn't quite ready to jump into the operating room yet. We agreed that in six to eight weeks I would have an MR neurography of both sides of the brachial plexus and see what it showed.

When he came time to schedule and the MRN. I had to ask the office to change the order for both sides of the brachial plexus, because as some other doctors have done in the past he was convinced that I only have problems on the right I'm not sure what it is that I say that give people the impression. But seeing as how I'm having the laft side operated on first I certainly don't think my symptoms are only on the right.

The neurography was pretty cool. It showed distortion of the course of the brachial plexus consistent with thoracic outlet syndrome on both side. It also showed some irritation of C8 on the left side, which is the nerve that comes out at the cervical and thoracic spine junction.

Interestingly, the approxiamte location of C8 is where I have the constant butcher knife pain that never goes away so for me. I think the MR neurography was dead on.

Also, interestingly, Dr. Riel was very happy to talk about the neurography when I brought the results to their office probably this is because it supported letting them operate on me :P

In the end plan met with Dr. filler to discuss the results of my neurography's, I was unimpressed with his ideas and a few things that you mentioned "remembering" that didn't make it into the report of my scans, and he was basing his surgical recommendations on these "memories." Seems to me that if it was that important enough to base a surgical recommendation on, it should have been in the report.

He did reccomend a scalenectomy and neuroplasty, and said that the neurography did not show that my rib was causing any compression. He would come in supraclavicularly and cut out a few inches of scalene muscle, clean up the nerves, wrap them in seprafilm, clise me up, then come in axiallarily adn lean up and scar tissue in the distal portion of the brachial plexus (front of shoulder area)

The other thing that bothered me about Dr. filler was that his scalenectomy only involves cutting out a couple inches of one scalene muscles seems like that's a lot of muscle to leave behind to reattach somewhere else. It bothered me more after I thought about how doctor Ahn does his surgery-he's leaving 4 inches of muscle and 25% of the time still going back in to remove it.

The other thing that finally killed all thoughts of having surgery with Dr. filler was that I told him I couldn't possibly make arrangements to have surgery with him unless he could tell me how much I was going to have to pay out of my own pocket. His office offered to call Blue Cross of California with procedure codes and charges. Now I happen to know the Blue Cross of California is especially difficult about this kind of thing when you call them and say here's the procedure coding here's the charge for whatever reason they can't tell you how much you're going to end up having to pay. However, I don't feel like his office made a particularly strong effort to get that information for me and I specifically told him I couldn't sign up for surgery without it.

So filler was probably my first elimination. However, I found the neurography results to be very useful.

Default Dr. Weaver

I've already made a very long post about Dr. Weaver elsewhere, so I'll make this one kind of brief.

Dr. Weaver is a vascular surgeon at USC. I went to see him and found him definitely to be very vascular oriented. I think that he is a good surgeon and experience it during TOS surgery, but really concentrates on vascular issues and maybe isn't so much of a nerve guy.


I only met him once, so I could be wrong, and he didn't have any special testing to send me for. He did suggest that a physical therapy was hoping maybe I should go for three more months and then come back and see, which I didn't really want to hear because frankly I was quite ready for surgery at this point. His approach is a supraclavicular rib resection with complete removal of the middle and interior scalene muscles. At the time I thought this sounded like a pretty good deal because eliminated the 25% chance of the second surgery.

I was pretty keen on him, but it took forever to get an appointment. My trip to Denver was a little later than I had hoped, and he said that if the Denver docs all said they were ready to operate he would be willing to operate that I didn't have enough time to get that appointment and get back in to talk to him and think about it. I did have the same problem with his nurse practitioner does a good fillers nurse practitioner. I didn't feel like she understood TOS. I didn't feel like she took a good history, and I didn't feel like Dr. Weaver gave my records The kind of going over that I would've expected. I think she picked and chose when he looked at and personally I think she missed some of the highlights.

Also, after my Denver trip and the left scalene with Dr. Sanders. I think I realized that nerve compression was a bigger factor than I had previously realized. So even if I had time to pursue Dr. Weaver, given that he's not much of a nerve guy I might have still decided to go elsewhere.

wow! thanks for all of the detail on this. I especially appreciate it because I've been contemplating something similar for a while now. I had given myself sort of a mental deadline, at which point I would look at talking to the various surgeons and also look into "alternative" treatments (i.e. acupuncture, chiropractors, etc).
thanks johanna

Default Dr Brantigan

Thanks to the new 12hour edit rule I'll make this one a new post....

So I went out to denver about 2.5 weeks ago. I hopped on a plane monday morning, had some pretty stressful travel (way too long lines, delayed planes and the like) that I wasn't prepared for, and arrived at Dr Brantigan's office late and in somewhat more ruffled shape than I would have liked.... They were fortunately having a light day and were able to accomodate me anyhow, which was cool.

I first met the NP who was nice (forgot her name?) but didn't do much. Dr Brantigan had supposedly read all my records before I came, but in going over my history i pointed out a few things to him that he had missed. First and foremost was Dr Jordan's ultrasound report of my right side where he clearly saw a fibrous band and an extra artery (or vein? can't remember...) because it was done with my right scalene block and Dr Brantigan had glossed over the report because he "didn't really think blocks were all that reliable"

*****
note: I have since come to some understanding of the difference between the Blocks that Dr Jordan and Dr Ahn do as compared to other docs. Dr Sanders, for instance, sticks you with the medicine and then asks if you feel better...Dr Jordan and Ahn use EMG monitoring to make sure the medicine goes exactly where they want it and and make recordings during the block. I haven't got it all figured out but I intend to ask for another explanation the next time I see Dr. Jordan)
*****


Actually, Dr Brantigan pretty much didn't like anyone's techniques for diagnosing TOS, except perhaps the SF based group doing the MRI/MRA with contrast. HE seems to rely extremely heavily on his own physical examinations and on the spiral CT scan. Doesn't like the scalene block, doesn't like Nerve Conductions Studies (like the MAC study Dr Sanders is doing), said SSEP was useless (I guess he didn't notice it was used as a rule out technique), and didn't like Dr Collins's MRI/MRA (said they were concentrating on "different things" but didn't elaborate on what those were).

He does have a very logical approach , and gave me some papers to read (the link was my favorite, and I can't find any of the others full text anywhere) that explained it. To summarize: everyone with TOS has some sort of anatomical anomoly and to fix the TOS you must locate and fix the anomoly. His papers describe 10 particular types of lower plexus anatomical varieties and another 6 or so types of upper plexus varieties. The lower plexus were things like extra ribs, cervical fibrous bands, partial cervical ribs that reduce to fibrous bands, and on and on. He was very specific as to location and type of these things which is why so many. He stated that he concentrated on bony structures.

He gave me a very thorough physical examination, but I generally don't reproduce symptoms well in an office setting. usually it is more delayed or while working on the computer, whatever. He was generally unimpressed with me there. I Explained to him the parts about being on pain meds all the time and not being able to sit in a chair to work, the pain in my back, etc and he took that all in thoughtfully.

At the end of our appt he indicated that I seemed to have a lower plexus injury on both sides and he would likely be willing to operate, but wanted to see the Spiral CT results, even though they don't usually show things like fibrous bands. So I went to get the spiral CT, and he said he'd call me in a few days. .

It then took him 2 weeks to get back to me. I guess my CT results got sent into cyberspace instead of the radiologist. After all this waiting and his ripping on everyone else's diagnostic techniques.....The CT came back completely normal.


By the time I talked to him about the results, I had also read the papers he gave me. Now I had always been confused about why my left and right sides felt so different but had the same "syndrome." I stumbled across a paragraph in the linked paper that was precisely a description of the symptoms I do get on the left and I don't get on the right. It went on to designate them as upper plexus symptoms and then to describe the rest of the normal TOS symptoms as lower plexus symptoms.

He further went on to suggest in this paper that if one had upper plexus symptoms that besdies a txiallary rib resection, he would do a supraclavicular scalenectomy at the same time.

When I talked to him about this part in his paper he said that he could revisit my upper plexus symptoms when I came back for surgery, but that he had been "unimpressed" in his physical exam and history that I had upper plexus involvement. (those aprticualr symptopms are intermittent adn I hadn't mentioned them becasue I forgot...but was having them the whole way home because of aggravation from all the testing) However, that IS the surgical course he takes for one with upper plexus syptoms.

In the end, I feel like I got some good information from him. Understanding the difference between upper and lower symptoms has been key in my decision making process. I guess If I had looked harder I might have found the info without going all the way to Denver, but in any case I have it now.

He also wrote a very nice, very detailed report including his exam notes, the history he had taken, and many thoughts and impressions. He faxed it to me the day I got my CT results.

Maybe if I lived in Denver I'd have surgery with him, but he wanted me to stay two weeks for surgery, and there is just no way I can stand to be away from my kiddos that long, so I didn't think it was likely i would choose him.

Default Dr Sanders

The second day of my 2 day trip to Denver was to see Dr. Sanders.

I was hurting by the time I got there. I usually try to show up less medicated for Dr appts so my symtoms are not masked by the pain meds. But I was pretty flared up from being maneuvered and poked the day before. r Sanders was late gettign out of surgery, so late to our appt, but Cathy was supre nice and let me know so I could get out of those waiting room chairs and walk around. Eventually I came back and threw my self on the floor of the exam room to stretch bc I couldn't take it. The were really very nice about it.

My first impression of Dr Sanders was that he had very bad posture...looked like TOS waiting to happen. Totally hunched over...like a little old lady (except that he is actually quite tall). And, I couldn't tell if it was on purpose or a result of the OR gear, but he also had a little faux hawk thing going on with his hair

Dr Sanders also took a comprehensive history from me. I don't think he had time to read my records because he had been late coming from surgery, but I was able to point things out as I talked through my history of treatment.

HE went thorugh a series of maneuvers, and explained how he and Dr Brantigan had different approaches to TOS...Sanders is more of a soft sturctures guy and Brantigan was a bony structures guy. Dr Sanders showed me pictures of the muscle fibers of TOS sufferers vs non tos sufferers and how there was significantly more scar and connective tissue in TOS sufferers than normal folks.

I have to say Dr Sanders seems to be one of those intuitive hands on type of people. he did a scalene block right in his office. He just made me look forward, picked his landmarks and stuck the medecine in there. Now I had someone ask me if it wasn't dangerous to do a block that way, and, I *think* the answer is no, it isn't dangerous, so much as possibly inaccurate. Generally doctors now use some type of guidance (emg, fluoroscopic, whatever) to ensure that the block gets to the right place. As I just mentioned, I think Dr Sanders is the kind of doc who is very good without the guidance...

In any case, the block was remarkably successful in my mind, I felt things go away that i didn't know were even in my arm (2 numb spots) and the pain in my rhomboid went away almost completely.

so, like dr brantigan, he wasn't terribly impressed with my clinical exam, but since i was "significantly debilitated" said he would probably be willng to operate but wanted to see the results of my MAC (medial anti brachial cutaneous) nerve conduction study.

That MAC study was really really awful. needles in the back of the neck, jolts thatcould be felt all the way to my toes, and the monologue of the doctor who kept saying things like "are you sure this has only been going on for a year?" adn "I know this test isn't fun, but if you are enjoying it I have a great psychiatrist for you to see..."

Dr Sanders told me that generally they find from 1-4 abnormal things in that test if you do, in fact, have TOS. I got the detailed report of the test and I know one thing was very abnormal but I am not sure how many of the 4 i got. It was worse on the right than left, but abnormal on both sides.

After having two doctors tell me they weren't sure if I really had TOS (which was the one thing i WAS sure of when I went to denver) it was reassuring to have sustained this torture but to at least have a test that said definitively "yes" you have TOS, and quanitify how bad.

SO, I discussed in detail with Dr Sanders what operation he would want to do. He said my pec minor as OK and he didn't need to touch it (this made me happy as I didn't want it cut, and confirmed that he was picking surgeries based on ME not HIM) HE talked about how he does a very complete scalenectomy, removing all the anterior and most of the medial scalene, wraps the nerves in his favorite medical saran wrap (don't remember the name) and that IF the nerve was restng on the rib he would take the rib during the operation. He does everything supraclavicularly.

we had a long discussion about scar tissue and about why he likes to do scalenectomy alone and how he thinks failures are more common when you take ribs and scalenes at the same time. He stated that he thought it was related to bleeding after the operation. HE says he can control the bleeding very well on scalene muscles alone, but not so much on the rib removal because he needs to cut so many deeper muscles. That's why he thinks there are slightly more failures for him when you do both at the same time.

It wasn't till I was on the plane home that I read the part (mentioned above) in Dr Brantigan's paper about upper plexus symptoms and how scalenectomy was required for those. Once I read it I was pretty convinced that I would have a scalenectomy with Dr Sanders because it would be the right procedure for me.

I was so convinced that I set a date, bought plane tix, and made hotel reservations.
