[Reoperation in thoracic outlet syndrome].
Questions of surgical treatment are dealt with shortly when analyzing reoperations in cases of thoracic outlet syndrome. Transaxillary first rib resection is considered as a favourable solution. Authors believe that in the overwhelming majority of recurrences it is the lack of resection or insufficient resection of the first rib that can be considered as responsible for it. By the way of conclusion the importance of medical gymnastics and physiotherapy to be started in the early postoperative period is pointed out.
