Objective Postherniorrhaphy pain is a not uncommon, and difficult to treat, pain condition. Success with different methods of neurostimulation has been reported in the literature in the last decade. We assess the use of a new modality of neuromodulation--spinal-peripheral neurostimulation (SPN).Materials And Methods We report the results of treatment of a patient with bilateral, intractable postherniorrhaphy pain with SPN.Results Significant reduction in pain and decrease in opioid consumption have been achieved.Conclusion SPN can be an effective treatment for postherniorrhaphy pain resistant to conservative management.© 2012 International Neuromodulation Society.
