Background: Injection treatment followed by an anterior neurectomy in patients insufficiently responding to an injection regimen is successful long tenn in three-quarters of patients with anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES). The efficacy of secondary surgery, including re-exploration or a posterior neurectomy in patients reporting recurrent pain after initially successful surgery or following an immediately failed anterior neurectomy is unknown.
