My wife is diagnosed with Thoracic outlet Syndrome due to cervical rib and has been advised surgery to remove the cervical rib on her left side. I would like to know the likely post surgery complication. Also she is wondering if she will suffer severe hairloss due to the post surgery medicines.

Cervical rib surgery medicines are not likely to cause any hairloss. Hairloss is often seen with strong medicines like chemotherapy drugs.
