Dr. Towfigh – Neurectomy
Hi Doctor,
Just wanted to post with some updates. So unfortunately, the selective laparoscopic genitofemoral neurectomy did not improve my pain levels at all. I continued to have the same burning pain in the side of the scrotum that I had before surgery.
Earlier this week, I decided to undergo a radical orchiectomy. I knew it was a shot in the dark, but I thought that perhaps if I had the spermatic cord resected above where it was originally operated on, it might eliminate the pain. Again, zero improvement. I still have the burning pain.
Pretty discouraged at this point. I don’t know where to go from here. Do you have any idea why it might be that I am still in so much pain? The only thing that hasn’t been done yet is taking our the ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves, but those shouldn’t have been affected by the initial surgery that injured me. So I have no idea what to do now. Let me know what you think. Thank you, Doctor.
