“…The burgeoning field of minimally invasive surgery has recently impacted the treatment of TOS. Martinez et al () reported that starting in 2003 they used the robotic da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) for 42 patients to improve visualization during transaxillary rib resection, noting no mortalities or permanent neurovascular injuries in these patients. Abdellaoui et al () described an endoscopic technique for improved intrathoracic visualization, by making a 6–7 cm axillary incision and introducing a camera and instruments through the incision.…”

“…It appears that it is cheap, feasible, reproducible and valid. Furthermore, a training tool of realistic simulation on porcine model has been developed, which may be applicable to other endoscopic axillary procedures, such as thyroidectomy (41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48), transthoracic sympathectomy (49), resection of the first rib for thoracic outlet syndrome (50) and plastic breast surgery (51,52).…”
