neurectomy

Neurectomy can be performed using one of two general methods.

In some cases the only useful treatment is a neurectomy of the palmar digital nerves.

If there is no improvement then a staged procedure to remove mesh and neurectomy may be considered.

Cryogenic neuroablation is a lesser known alternative to neurectomy surgery.

For patients with extreme pain, a presacral neurectomy may be indicated where the nerves to the uterus are cut.

Neurectomy is the surgical removal of a nerve or a section of a nerve.

Neurectomy tends to lower the market value of a horse, and may even make the horse ineligible for competition.

But extension of the standard triple neurectomy to include the genitofemoral nerve has given good results, on a small series of 16 patients.

Because nerves often carry both sensory and motor fibers, motor impairment is a possible side effect of neurectomy.

If operative repair is chosen, mesh excision +/- triple neurectomy may be considered with small studies suggesting good outcomes.

Neurectomy is controversial.

In more serious cases surgeons can cut the nerve to the balance portion of the inner ear in a vestibular neurectomy.

If such interventions fail, patients are commonly offered surgery known as neurectomy, which involves removing the affected piece of nerve tissue.

A vestibulary neurectomy is a surgical procedure that may be used to correct vertigo problems caused by Ménière's disease.

He popularized the operation of neurectomy, the surgical removal of a nerve in horses, in 1817.

Procedures include neurectomy, cordotomy, dorsal root entry zone lesioning, and cingulotomy.

Nerves, for pain control (presacral neurectomy).

From 1818 he popularised the practice of neurectomy for alleviating foot lameness, performing the operation several hundreds of times.

Other neurectomy operations include:

The largest series encompassing 415 patient, most following open or suture repair, demonstrates significant improvement following triple neurectomy.

After the neurectomy, if the horse becomes injured in the area the injury may go undetected for a long period of time, which risks the animal's health.

A possible complication of a neurectomy is the development of a stump neuroma, which can cause painful sensations, in some cases worse than the original condition.

For his journeys abroad, and his neurectomy study, Sewell received a gratuity in 1819 of £300, plus a salary increase of £50 per annum.

Capsular neurectomy is a procedure in which the hip joint capsule is de-nerved to reduce pain in the hip.

Neurectomy involves cutting a nerve, and is (rarely) used in patients with short life expectancy who are unsuitable for drug therapy due to ineffectiveness or intolerance.
