Vidian neurectomy has been used to manage intractable vasomotor rhinitis for decades. After the introduction of endoscopic sinus surgery in the 1980s, transnasal endoscopic vidian neurectomy (EVN) was subsequently reported. The most common problem in performing EVN was excessive bleeding from the pterygopalatine fossa. The complexity and vascularity of the pterygopalatine fossa can cause bloody...

BACKGROUND Chronic debilitating pain is a rare but significant cause of postoperative morbidity after inguinal surgery. Such pain is usually of neuropathic origin and frequently caused by intraoperative nerve damage. In this retrospective matched-pair study we analysed results of a minimal-invasive approach to neurectomy on quality of life and pain relief. METHODS From March 2010 to January 2...

Latent herpes simplex virus infection of the superior cervical autonomic ganglion was reactivated in vivo by postganglionic neurectomy. Two methods were used to demonstrate viral reactivation: (i) recovery of infectious herpes simplex virus in ganglion homogenates and (ii) acceleration of virus expression in ganglion explants in culture. Both the percentage of mice exhibiting reactivated gangli...

The purposes of this study were therefore to characterize the degeneration and regeneration of nerves to the calf muscles after selective neurectomy, both macroscopically and microscopically, and to determine the incidence of such regeneration in a rabbit model. Seventy four New Zealand white rabbits were used. Selective neurectomy to the triceps surae muscles was performed, and the muscles wer...

The results of treatment of 348 painful neuromas of sensory nerves of the hand in 172 patients were evaluated. Three hundred and sixteen were treated by simple excisional neurectomy and these results may be used for comparison with other methods. Sixty-five percent had an excellent or satisfactory result from a single such procedure. A repeated neurectomy improved the results to 78 percent. The...

Peripheral neurectomy is a simple and effective method of procedure widely performed throughout the world for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. At the acute conditions of pain, we have an case who had underwent an peripheral neurectomy on the affected left side of the face. He had a history of pain particularly in the evening and morning session for the past 6 months and patient reported t...

The effect of surgery for vertigo on tinnitus was evaluated in 90 patients who underwent surgery for disabling vertigo for Menieres disease. The three procedures studies included a destructive labyrinthectomy, endolymphatic sac decompression and shunt, and vestibular neurectomy. Patients who underwent a vestibular neurectomy had a significantly better tinnitus outcome than those who underwent s...

OBJECTIVES Vidian neurectomy could be considered the treatment of choice for intractable rhinitis, because it is the only method that can permanently block the pathophysiological mechanism of rhinitis. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of vidian neurectomy on nasal symptoms and tear production, and to assess for possible complications. METHODS Six patients with intractable rhi...

Objectives: To compare the outcomes of patellar replacement and neurectomy in Patients undergoing Total Knee Replacement . Materials & Methods: The design this study was a cross sectional conducted DHQ Teaching Hospital Gujranwala. 30 were enrolled they divided into two groups. Group A constitutes 15 underwent Post tibial neurectomy. And B consisting went through Tibial Resection. All patie...

In the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) of mice latently infected with the herpes simplex virus type 1 mutant in1814, there are more neurons that contain latency-associated transcripts (LATs) than in DRG of mice infected with a dose of equal infectivity of either a revertant or a wild-type virus. We investigated whether higher levels of LAT+ neurons resulted in more extensive reactivation either in vi...
