Objective:
Postherniorrhaphy pain is a not uncommon, and difficult to treat, pain condition. Success with different methods of neurostimulation has been reported in the literature in the last decade. We assess the use of a new modality of neuromodulation--spinal-peripheral neurostimulation (SPN).
Materials And Methods:
We report the results of treatment of a patient with bilateral, intractable postherniorrhaphy pain with SPN.
Results:
Significant reduction in pain and decrease in opioid consumption have been achieved.
Conclusion:
SPN can be an effective treatment for postherniorrhaphy pain resistant to conservative management.
