=Neurectomy of the inferior dental nerve.= A transverse incision is made through the skin and subcutaneous tissues at the level of junction between horizontal and vertical rami of the jaw, extending from the anterior border of the vertical ramus to the posterior border of the same. The tissues are retracted and the masseter muscle exposed. The muscle fibres are split in the vertical direction and the bone laid bare. A ¹⁄₂ inch trephine is applied, and a disk of bone removed so as to expose the inferior dental nerve at its entrance into the inferior dental canal. The nerve is freed from the corresponding artery, divided at the centre of exposure, and the two ends seized with forceps, twisted and avulsed in such a manner as to destroy and remove the maximum number of nerve-fibres. The disk of bone is replaced, the muscle fibres brought together with a few catgut sutures, and the margins of the skin incision approximated. =Exposure of the infra-orbital nerve.= A curved incision is made through the skin and subcutaneous tissues parallel to and below the infra-orbital margin, the tissues retracted, and the small muscles overlying the infra-orbital foramen divided or retracted so as to allow exposure of the foramen. The nerve is isolated and divided. The peripheral end is seized with forceps and avulsed. The central end may be treated after similar fashion, or, preferably, again exposed in the infra-orbital groove or canal, the tissues being peeled away from the floor of the orbit and the nerve sought for as it traverses the infra-orbital canal. With this object in view, it may be necessary to gently break away the osseous roof of the canal before the nerve can be exposed. It is then lifted up with a small hook, drawn through the infra-orbital foramen, seized with forceps, and avulsed in such a manner as to be torn away somewhere in the region of the spheno-maxillary fossa. The wound is then sewn up. =Exposure of the supra-orbital nerve.= The nerve is exposed through a curved incision parallel to the supra-orbital margin, and so planned as to be concealed by the eyebrow. The fibres of the orbicularis palpebrarum are separated and the foramen identified. The nerve is separated from its artery, divided, the peripheral portion avulsed, and the central portion again exposed as it courses along the roof of the orbit. For this purpose the tissues of the upper lid are detached from the supra-orbital margin, the nerve delivered with the aid of a small hook, brought out through the foramen, and avulsed in such a manner as to be torn away somewhere in the region of the sphenoidal fissure. The wound is then sewn up. NEURALGIA MAJOR
