Subcutaneous rhizolysis is defined as cutting the nerves to the posterior intervertebral joints. Although a blind procedure, it has proved safe in several centres and provides relief of pain in about two thirds of those who suffer from intractable, persistent backache. Some conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis and previous spinal fusion are clinically unsuitable, but this technique, which is described, is recommended for consideration before all major surgical procedures for back pain are undertaken.
皮下神经松解术的定义是切断至椎间后关节的神经。尽管这是一种盲视操作，但已在多个中心证明是安全的，并且能使约三分之二患有顽固性持续性背痛的患者疼痛得到缓解。某些情况，如强直性脊柱炎和既往脊柱融合术，在临床上并不适用，但在进行所有主要的背痛手术之前，建议考虑采用本文所述的这种技术。
