Rib removal may be medically approved in several situations. If a rib is fractured in such a way that it might puncture a vital organ, it may be safer to remove it than wait for it to heal.^[1] A cancerous rib may be removed to stop the cancer spreading.^[1] Rib bone material may be used for a bone graft.^[1] The excess pressure of thoracic outlet syndrome may be reduced by rib removal.^[1] Major surgery to the thoracic cavity, such as open heart surgery, may require removal of ribs to allow access to the organ being operated on

Jh, It is a fact ! Dolly Parton had a few ribs removed to make her waist even smaller ! It was like a scene out of Gone With the Wind, only worse . Ha Ha.
