2049-0801802022AugAnnals of medicine and surgery (2012)Ann Med Surg (Lond)Surgical therapy of occipital (Arnold) neuralgia: A case series.10423710423710423710.1016/j.amsu.2022.104237The 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.From June 2011 till February 2022 we have performed surgery over 232 patients with occipital neuralgia.The surgical procedure elicited a positive response in 86% of the patients.The described techniques allowed to obtain an high rate of positive results with a minimum percentage of complications.© 2022 The Authors.RaposioGiorgioGDepartment of Surgical Sciences and Integrated Diagnostics (DISC), University of Genova, Italy.RaposioEdoardoEDepartment of Surgical Sciences and Integrated Diagnostics (DISC), University of Genova, Italy.Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Division, IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino, Genova, Italy.engJournal Article20220806
