Neurolysis

My surgeon is suggesting neurolysis has any one had that performed?

I guess I’m confused as to what it is. My neurologist is suggesting my trigeminal nerve be ablated. I don’t know which one is better.

I don’t have my appointment until the 19th to ask questions. Is neurolysis a temperary fix? I’m just don’t understand what the would do with the nerve. The surgeon is wanting to do another craniotomy to perform the surgery.
