Here is a link to a page with info on the robotic surgery. It also has a video at the bottom the page showing the removal of the rib. This is very interesting. I was told for years that the surgery was too risky, and I should do pt, lose weight, I'm lazy, I'm really not hurting that much, I'm a wimp, I'm weak, Etc... It would be great if this technique made surgery an option for more people with risks/complications being lower and recovery being shorter. I wish you the best of luck Nelly!! Please let us know how it goes for you, especially with the recovery. I'm very interested in this. There are a lot of people in California that have been looking for surgeons, this is not so far away. |

I've been sick for a year and was told I have NTOS the entire time and it turns out it's arterial and venous. So it is possible that a lot of people who think or were told they have NTOS actually have arterial, venous or both.
Obviously poor circulation can cause tremendous pain and be very disabling. |
