The International Neuropathy Decompression Registry records prospectively the number of people who have had a surgical procedure to treat the symptoms of neuropathy. The surgical procedures are those described by A. Lee Dellon, MD, Director of the Dellon Institutes for Peripheral Nerve Surgery™. The doctors who can enter their patients into this Registry are those who have been trained at one of Dr. Dellon’s Advanced Lower Extremity Peripheral Nerve Workshops, implying that all surgical procedures done for the treatment of the symptoms of neuropathy will have been done with the same, consistent, surgical technique, and done with the same pre-operative indications and measurements, and followed with the same post-operative care and measurements.  This Registry is sponsored by the Diabetic Neuropathy Foundation of the Southwest.

Confidentiality is assured for patient information in that the surgical data and follow-up information is done anonymously, by coding from the original doctor’s office, and submitted anonymously. There is no direct identification of any patient in this data base. While the doctors who enter data are listed below, so that patients with neuropathy may learn of a surgeon in their geographic area who is trained to do this surgery, that doctor’s patients remain anonymous with regard to the data entry.
