![Accurately depicts left thoracic outlet syndrome with subsequent surgical decompression of the brachial plexus. Surgical steps: 1. Initial condition with compression and scarring of the left brachial plexus due to compression between the scalene muscles; 2. Creation of an incision in the region of the clavicle; 3. Resection of the overlying scalene muscle segment; 4. Resection of scar tissue; 5. Placement of surgical film to decrease future scarring.](https://www.doctorstock.com/img-get/I0000F5tT74M082c/s/600/600/85286DS.jpg)
