چکیده انگلیسی
Surgical removal of painful skin was first attempted as a treatment for chronic intractable post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) more than a century ago, but long-term follow-up has rarely been reported. A patient who underwent surgical excision of 294Â cm2 of thoracic skin comprising the entire area of pain and allodynia in October 2000 has been followed for 5.5Â years post-surgery. Our initial report presented evidence of benefit in the form of reduced pain, elimination of allodynia, and reduced medication consumption during the first post-operative year. Unfortunately, pain steadily increased and now exceeds pre-surgery levels despite increased medication use. Pain topography and characteristics are different from pre-surgery and may relate to the pathophysiology of PHN. Skin resection cannot be recommended as a treatment for PHN.
