Radiofrequency neurolysis versus local nerve infiltration in 42 patients with refractory chronic inguinal neuralgia.

Abstract

Radiofrequency neurolysis appears to be significantly more effective than local nerve infiltrations. It is a safe and effective treatment for chronic inguinal pain. Local steroid injection along with local injection of anesthetics should be used as a confirmation of ilioinguinal neuropathy before performing radiofrequency neurolysis.
