| has gloss | eng: Neurectomy is the surgical removal of a nerve or a section of a nerve. This controversial procedure may be performed, for example, in cases of chronic pain where other treatments have failed. However the removal of the nerve can also cause negative effects, such as permanent numbness. A possible complication of a neurectomy is the development of a stump neuroma, which can cause painful sensations, in some cases worse than the original condition. |
