Posterior subscapular approach for specific brachial plexus lesions

The surgical technique for exposure of the brachial plexus via a posterior subscapular approach is reviewed, with its relevant anatomy. The author has used this approach for four brachial plexus procedures. The indications for this approach will be disc ussed, and a case history presented to illustr...

Zusammenfassung:	The surgical technique for exposure of the brachial plexus via a posterior subscapular approach is reviewed, with its relevant anatomy. The author has used this approach for four brachial plexus procedures. The indications for this approach will be disc ussed, and a case history presented to illustrate the benefits of this procedure in recurrent thoracic outlet syndrome.
