【Abstract】 Objective To report and investigate a new treatment method of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS.) assisted by endoscope. Methods After local anaesthesia, an incision 1.5 cm in length was made at the lateral neck. The tendon-like origin fiber of anterior and middle scalene muscles was cut partially under the endoscope. Results Ten cases of TOS were involved in the study from 11 March, 2002 to 16 December 2002. The symptoms and signs were disappeared completely immediately after operation. After 4 months to 1 year follow-up( mean: 6 months), the symptoms and signs were disappeared in 5 cases. The muscle power restored to normal, with prickling sensation decreased a little along the forearm and small finger in 4 cases. In 1 case occasional uncomfortable feeling occurred at the neck. There was numbness, pain and over-sensitivity to prickling around the clavicle in this patient. Conclusion Patial resection of the origin parts of anterior and middle scalene muscle with minor incision at the neck assisted by endoscope is a new way with minimal trauma for treatment of TOS, which can relieve the compression of the brachial plexus by the scalene muscles.更多还原
