Has anyone had the surgical procedure called The Dellon procedure?

I have peripheral neuropathy. Several years ago, I saw a doctor who performs the Dellon procedure but was told I didn’t qualify for it. I believe the procedure is for the patient who has a localized nerve compression in the lower extremities. It is somewhat equivalent to carpal tunnel in the upper extremities.

Maggie - you are right. This is equivalent to carpal tunnel - and I have decided to give it a try in my worst leg (if there really is one) left first. I will keep this forum up to date on hopefully, positive results. I am "classified" as Idiopathic neuropathy - which means no one knows why. It's been over 20+ years and this is the first time anyone has mentioned it to me- which made me skeptical, but the more I read - hell why not? Like many of you, I have tried everything, even the drugs, which I have been free of for over 4 years now...they didn't help, just masked it. My heart breaks for all of us as we continue to suffer.
