Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Clinical Trial
Official title:
Prospective Evaluation of Improvement in Pain and Quality of Life After Free Fat Flap for Treatment of Recurrent Neurological Thoracobrachial Outlet Syndrome
The Thoraco-Brachial Outlet Syndrome (T-BOS) corresponds to the entirety of clinical manifestations related to the compression of the branches of the brachial plexus and/or the subclavian vessels during their passage through the cervico-thoracic region. Following surgery, a recurrence of symptoms occurs in 5% to 30% of operated patients. The treatment of these recurrences primarily relies on conservative therapies, and in case of failure, surgical intervention, particularly neurolysis of the brachial plexus. In order to prevent a new recurrence, it is desirable to cover the neurolyzed brachial plexus with a flap, providing better local vascularization. However, fatty perforating flaps, by avoiding muscle harvesting, reduce donor site sequelae. We aim to investigate, through validated and recommended questionnaires, the impact of covering the neurolyzed brachial plexus with a free fatty flap after neurolysis in the context of recurrent neurological Thoraco-Brachial Outlet Syndrome.
