hello
depending on cause of brachial plexus compression either by a cervical rib, or scalenus anticus muscle compression or minor compression due to pectoralis major muscle, trans-axillary or supra clacicular approach by surgeons is used.You may simply put heading in search box for thoracic outlet syndrome neurogenic decompression surgery, however, this may confuse you as varied surgeries are done ,either pectoralis tenotomy is done for minor compression, to scalene muscle decompression and removal of cervical rib.With experienced surgeon, there would be no complications, so have faith
best wishes
