[Costo-clavicular syndromes (thoracic outlet syndrome) (author's transl)].
During a 5-year period, 156 patients were followed with symptoms representative of costo-clavicular compression. Surgical treatment has been rejected in 80 patients. One hundred and five (20 bilateral) resections of the first rib were performed according to the technique as described by Roos. The surgical indication depends mainly on the severity of symptoms, clinical signs and the presence of complications (45 major complications). In 88% of the cases, a satisfactory result was obtained at the expense of a small incision, a hospital stay averaging 7 days and a few reversible complications of no significance.
