It is primarily for entrapment of nerves and is a surgery to
release the pressure that is causing the PN. Diabetics are his primary patients.
It will not work for other types of PN.
Dr Dellon trains other docs, all over the country, to do this procedure and gets a split for every one done, under his name. He does not do most of the surgeries.
He developed the procedure while practicing at Johns Hopkins and started his own independent practice he calls his 'institute'.
Results have been iffy- 50/50, according to the volume of posts here and on other sites.
Thanks for the reply, I must have had a mental blank as surgeries are no remedy for CIDP, this is going to be fun explaining this to my concerned relative.
