Fat flap surgery for recurrent thoracic outlet syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a free fat flap during repeat surgery for neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome can improve outcomes. It may help patients who have had symptoms come back after their first surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had surgery to release the brachial plexus nerves for thoracic outlet syndrome before.
- Your symptoms came back after that surgery.
- You are having another surgery that includes a free fat flap placed around the nerves.
- You can understand and agree to the study in French.
- You are not under guardianship or trusteeship.

This trial studies whether using a “fat flap” (a piece of your own fatty tissue, moved to the neck) during certain neck surgeries can reduce neck injury after head and neck cancer treatment. It is for people who need a salvage neck dissection because of persistent or returning cancer in the neck lymph nodes.
This study tests a physical therapy technique called mechanically loaded neuro-dynamics for people with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, a condition where nerves or blood vessels in the neck/shoulder area are compressed. It may help reduce pain and improve function.
This trial tests whether using a free or pedicled tissue flap during total laryngectomy reduces the risk of a pharyngocutaneous fistula (an abnormal opening between the throat and skin). It is for people whose laryngeal cancer came back after radiation or chemoradiation.
This study looks at whether people with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) have different breathing patterns and how that might relate to their symptoms. If you have had TOS pain for more than 6 months, you may be able to help researchers understand this condition better.
This trial looks at patients who had a type of breast reconstruction called a latissimus dorsi flap. It reviews surgery time, hospital stay, and whether any additional operations or cancer recurrences happened. The goal is to learn more about how this procedure works over time.
This trial studies whether a new surgical reconstruction method can improve outcomes for people with oral cavity or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (a type of head and neck cancer). The goal is to rebuild the area using a tissue flap while reducing problems where the tissue is taken from.
