Salt Lake City, UT, interviews thoracic outlet syndrome expert Dr Bryan
Burt of the Baylor College of Medicine. They discuss Dr Burt's latest
publication currently in-press with the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, entitled "Safety of Robotic First Rib Resection for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome."
Dr Burt and team analyzed 123 first rib resections for venous and
neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome over a 5-year period. Approximately 2
years into this cohort, Dr Burt made a complete switch from
supraclavicular to trans-thoracic robotic approach. The analysis centers
on perioperative outcomes of each approach, with a specific focus on
complications and postoperative pain control.
After discussing his paper, Dr Burt takes us through a full robotic
first rib resection case, providing the tips and tricks he has learned
from his experience with over 150 of these operations.
