Dr. Towfigh – Neurectomy
Wow. That’s unfortunate. Not sure why nerve damage would be brushed off as incurable. Dr Chen, I, and others have written pretty vastly about the treatment of nerve damage. However, unfortunately, there is not much cross-training and so urologists are mostly not aware of what general surgeons practice, and vice versa. So if these are urologists telling you there is nothing to do, it usually means there is nothing they can do. Other specialists can help.
As for your questions:
– orchiectomy does not typically include genital nerve resection.
– the genital nerve is not intentionally transected with any hernia repair
– if you’re having pain from that nerve, you won’t miss it too much when its resected.
