2 Fig. 1 The thoracic inlet is fully exposed simply by disarticulating the clavicle from the sternum and pulling it downward (inset). In this case a large tumor is invading the thoracic inlet posterior to the brachial plexus (left; white arrows). The tumor was removed en bloc with the ribs (right). p, Brachial plexus; a, subclavian artery; v, subclavian vein; cl, clavicle.

3 Fig. 2 After the resection is completed, the clavicle is approximated to the sternum and fixed with two metallic stitches. In this case the clavicle was fixed a bit lower than its physiologic position to better compensate for the thoracic cage defect resulting from removal of the first and second ribs.
