Nerve block surgery is a specialized procedure aimed at interrupting pain signals from a specific nerve or group of nerves that are causing chronic discomfort. During the procedure, the surgeon either surgically severs, destroys, or disables the targeted nerve to prevent it from transmitting pain impulses to the brain. This can be done using various techniques such as chemical neurolysis (where a chemical like phenol or alcohol is injected), radiofrequency ablation (which uses heat generated by radio waves), or neurectomy (where the nerve is cut). Advanced imaging technology, such as fluoroscopy, CT scans, or ultrasound, is often used to guide the surgeon with high precision. These tools help ensure that only the problematic nerve is affected while surrounding nerves and tissues remain unharmed. The surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the nerve’s location and the patient’s health status. It may be an outpatient or inpatient procedure, depending on complexity. The goal is to achieve lasting relief from pain with minimal impact on the patient’s daily function or mobility.
