Hier beschrijven we de chirurgische procedure om regeneratieve perifere zenuwinterface (RPNI)-chirurgie uit te voeren voor de behandeling van neuropathische pijn na amputatie in de context van een internationale, gerandomiseerde gecontroleerde studie (RCT) (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05009394). De RCT vergelijkt RPNI met twee andere chirurgische technieken, namelijk gerichte spierreïnnervatie (TMR) en neuroomexcisie in combinatie met intramusculaire transpositie.
