摘要
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.
