  • Pulsed radiofrequency for the treatment of chronic ilioinguinal neuropathy.

    Mitra R, Zeighami A, Mackey S. Hernia. 2007; 11 (4): 369-71

    Ilioinguinal neuropathy is a rare but disabling condition. The condition may arise spontaneously or in the setting of pelvic surgery. To date, most therapeutic options have been limited to neuropathic pain medications, anti-inflammatory medications, nerve blocks with local anesthetics, or neurectomy. Long-term results of non-surgical interventions are fair at best. We present a case of chronic ilioinguinal neuropathy treated with pulsed radiofrequency.
