title: [Evaluation of long-term results and donor site defects following transposition of connective tissue flaps].
abstract: Nine patients suffering from chronic pain after surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome or after radiation therapy underwent neurolysis of the brachial plexus. To avoid a recurrence of scar formation, a pedicled subpectoral transposition flap of connective tissue, utilizing the pectoral branch of the A. thoraco-acromialis, was wrapped around the neurolyzed structures. Long-term follow-up results are presented.
