Dr Dellon

[Ray P.]

Hi
I have not seen any post since Feb. 2012 regarding Dellon's results from his surgeries. I would love to hear about the good or not so good outcomes.
Is there somewhere else I could find those results?

Thanks, Ray

As you can see from my signature, my surgery was unnecessary. I wasted a year of my life and $12,000 on this man, and I regret it every day.

Maybe one of the surgical patients from Dellon could authorize him to post a response here on this board. After all, he is getting rich on our suffering. I emailed Dellon went to see him out of desperation June 2012. That office visit was $750.He then emailed me three months later asking if I would like to come in, totally forgetting i had already been there! He said "he was goign through some old emails". Folks, this Dr may or may not hold any answers for us, but I think it is clear that his PN surgery, at $30k a pop surgeons fee, is a big business for Dellon. My life is a disaster since I got this Pn stuff 2 years ago. But, this surgery has been ruled out by me.

I'm so glad you did not let desperation guide you like I did. This man needs to be stopped from doing these surgeries. Nerves hurt for a reason, and if he's not going to be thorough enough to know all the possible causes, then he doesn't need to be slicing people open. In my experience with him, he is not genuinely a good person. And not just because the surgery didn't help. It was little things about the way he treated me that showed me who he really was.

I don't have a personal experience with Dr. Dellon but I saw him speak at the International Pelvic Pain Society conference in 2011. I was very disturbed by his demeanor.
He dismissed the work of all other surgeons in the field based on the fact that relief is not immediate for their patients. He showed a slide of a patient's vulva and told the audience that she had described her pain as "a thorn in her rosebud"; and then followed it with a slide showing a picture of her face (her standing, smiling, with her husband). He also showed a slide of a "patient satisfaction" letter from a male patient, name included, stating that the man felt so much better the he had been able to masturbate and couldn't wait to try having sex. I don't know whether or not he obtained patient permission for either of these displays...I certainly hope so.
I think it would be wise to leave my assessment of his attitude toward patients and other physicians out of this, and just stick to the above facts which were witnessed by everybody present.

OMG!!!!!!!!
I also have no personal experience with this surgeon, but am friendly with lots of others who have. I've never been impressed with his ethics or professionalism, either. One of the many things I recall about him, is publishing someone's private parts in one of his "pain journals/chapters". This particular patient viewed the chapter on this site and was shocked to see their private parts on display for all the world to see. Of course, the first thing I asked was if they had signed something giving him permission to display the full color glossy, or had given verbal permission for the publication. The response was NO. I really don't understand how this is possible, and asked the patient if they had a copy of their new patient intake paperwork. This was not a surgical patient. Just someone who went for a consult!
So ... Dellon patients - surgical and non-surgical alike .... were you asked to give permission, either verbally or in writing to contribute to his promotional materials?

Hello freinds,

One of my Italian friends "Andrea"had a successful bilateral surgery with Dr. Dellon about two months ago.The price tag was almost US $ 50,000 because I think he charged an extra US $15,000 for the redo or an extra nerve.I believe the patient's journey started in 2006 and had failed surgeries with both Dr. Beco in Belgium and Dr. Bautrant in Aix En Provence,France in 2007 and 2009 respectively.

He has no rectal burning and he can sit for more than two hours without a cushion.His sitting is improving every day and he is quite thrilled to leave the PN world.He is back to work .

This is the only case that I can confirm of Dr. Dellon's PN success.He was entrapped in the ST ligament on both sides including some pathology in the perineal branch.

Dr. Dellon also mis-diagnosed me for dorsal nerve entrapment in 2011 which eventually took me to Vienna,Austria.In reality, my PN was or is still entrapped.
Take care,
Ali
