Background : The aim of this study is to evaluate the functional prognosis after Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) surgery and report the early outcome of surgery for TOS.

Methods : From November 2015 to August 2016, 10 patients with thoracic outlet syndrome underwent surgery at single institute. In order to measure clinical and functional improvement, the application of Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire was used. We retrospectively analyzed the result of operation, score of DASH questionnaire. The DASH questionnaire was administered pre- and postoperatively.

Results : There were 8 males and 2 female, with the median age was 21 years (range, 19-44). The anterior and middle scalene muscle was sectioned and the first rib was resected in all the cases by means of a supraclavicular approach. Pectoralis minor tenotomy was performed in 5 patients. After operation, median length of stay for admissions was 8 days (range, 6-15). No serious complication was observed, except one case of chyle leakage. Mean preoperative score of DASH questionnaire was 49.68 (SD ± 17.38) and mean postoperative score of DASH questionnaire was 25.0 (SD ± 22.31) (p = 0.04).

Conclusion : Our study demonstrated that surgically decompression of thoracic outlet leads to significant benefit in TOS patients. Surgical treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome could be a good option.
