    Dr. Towfigh – Neurectomy

    JG,
    In the case of isolated genitofemoral neuralgia after hernia repair, laparoscopic neurectomy is my choice of technique. For sure open would be more difficult and higher risk for additional morbidities and injury. In general, we wish to transected nerves proximal to the injury (i.e. Between the site of injury and it’s communication back to the spinal cord)
