This comprehensive book delves into the intricate processes of diagnosing and treating pain caused by peripheral nerve injury and compression. In the opening chapter, the relevant anatomy and diagnostic tools are outlined, enabling practitioners to identify peripheral-nerve-related issues accurately. However, the heart of the book revolves around the surgical techniques employed to alleviate specific types of peripheral nerve pain, such as neuroma, thoracic outlet syndrome, and migraine. A step-by-step, practical approach is presented, encompassing essential considerations both pre- and post-operatively. The procedures showcased are minimally invasive yet highly effective, offering patients a promising path to relief.

Each chapter is accompanied by detailed surgical illustrations and anatomical images, providing a visual reference for practitioners. The management of chronic pain is a pressing concern, and minimally invasive yet effective surgical techniques, combining the expertise of neurosurgery, plastic surgery, orthopedics, general surgery, pain management, and neurology, are in high demand. Unfortunately, the growing demand on the part of patients suffering from neuropathic pain has not been met with adequate practical training in peripheral nerve surgery to effectively control pain.

The authors of this book are true experts in this field, spanning from head to toe, and their valuable guide offers medical students and experienced clinicians alike a wealth of practical information for their daily practice. By comprehensively addressing the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical techniques related to peripheral nerve injury and compression, this book serves as a crucial resource for advancing the field of pain management.
