Peripheral neurectomy affords a conservative method of relieving the pain of trigeminal neuralgia. Although the relief is temporary, the procedure can be repeated when the pain recurs. At Ochsner Clinic, 162 neurectomies were performed on 88 patients between 1956 and 1971. This includes 112 neurectomies performed on 63 patients between 1956 and 1965 from the previous report. This form of treatment is particularly indicated for an aged or severely debilitated patient in whom craniotomy is contraindicated. The total pain-free period obtained from repeated peripheral neurectomies is significant and justifies the use of the procedure. The median pain-free period among the 88 patients was 41 months with a mean of 52.5 months.
外周神经切除术为缓解三叉神经痛提供了一种保守的方法。尽管缓解是暂时的，但当疼痛复发时该手术可以重复进行。在奥施纳诊所，1956年至1971年间对88例患者进行了162次神经切除术。这包括之前报告中1956年至1965年间对63例患者进行的112次神经切除术。这种治疗方式特别适用于禁忌开颅手术的老年或严重虚弱患者。重复进行外周神经切除术所获得的总的无痛期是显著的，证明了该手术的应用价值。88例患者的无痛期中位数为41个月，平均为52.5个月。
