title: [Surgical treatment of the upper thoracic outlet syndrome].
abstract: In a five year period we have treated surgically eight patients with TOS in the Neurosurgical Clinic Sarajevo. We have concluded that there is not specific diagnostic procedure for the verification of TOS and as surgical method of choice we suggest supraclavicular scalenectomy with neurolysis of plexus brachialis and resection of cervical rib, if exists.
