Objective:
The idea to treat occipital neuralgia patients with a surgical procedure is relatively recent. The aim of this paper was to describe the surgical techniques and our 12-year experience in this field.
Materials And Methods:
From June 2011 till February 2022 we have performed surgery over 232 patients with occipital neuralgia.
Results:
The surgical procedure elicited a positive response in 86% of the patients.
Conclusions:
The described techniques allowed to obtain an high rate of positive results with a minimum percentage of complications.
