@jgroudan and @saolson I found this paper by Dr. Sweetser and in it, he references the surgical option I believe the pair of you are discussing.

- Abdominal Wall Pain: A Common Clinical Problem:
https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(18)30671-2/pdf

Reference Information from Article:
"Surgical treatment with neurectomy is available for medically intractable AWP. The nerve bundle at the site of maximal pain is exposed, and a small segment is excised. This procedure should be considered only in patients who have debilitating pain with only temporary relief after
repeated injection treatments and when other causes of abdominal pain have been
excluded."

Is this the same procedure?
