Neurotomy is the surgical cutting of a nerve, usually in the hope of relieving pain. This is seldom justified nowadays, is not always effective and will usually have serious side effects.[1]
Professor Alfonso Cepeda-Emiliani, in a presentation in Brisbane, Australia, has called attention to the unethical nature of the practice. He reports it was first introduced by Brazilian surgeons in the 1980s as a treatment for premature ejaculation. It has since spread to many areas of the world.
