| 1. | Neurectomy can be performed using one of two general methods.
|
| 2. | Cryogenic neuroablation is a lesser known alternative to neurectomy surgery.
|
| 3. | Otolithic function can also be compromised after unilateral vestibular neurectomy.
|
| 4. | Neurectomy is also used to treat chronic hind limb suspensory ligament desmopathy.
|
| 5. | Other treatments may include denervation, autotransplantation, renal neurectomy, or nephrectomy.
|
| 6. | Procedures include neurectomy, cordotomy, dorsal root entry zone lesioning, and cingulotomy.
|
| 7. | The patient is typically under general anesthetic during the neurectomy, which is performed by a neurosurgeon.
|
| 8. | If there is no improvement then a staged procedure to remove mesh and neurectomy may be considered.
|
| 9. | The surgeon can also cut the nerve to the balance portion of the inner ear in a vestibular neurectomy.
|
| 10. | Because nerves often carry both sensory and motor fibers, motor impairment is a possible side effect of neurectomy.
