This is the best article I have found re piriformis. The authors believe that the complete removal offers the best chance to ensure complete decompression and to decrease the likelihood of recurrent compression from scarring of the muscle on the nerve.

I have been struggling with periformis sydrome for over a year. I have had two back surgeries that have not relieved the pain. I saw that you were from Ohio. I have been struggling to find a doctor clost to home that does this surgery. My Dr. has been looking also but we have come to a dead end. Could you tell me where you had your surgery and the name of the Surgeon? Anything you can tell me would be great.

My surgeon was Dr. Bohlman at University Hospital in Cleveland. I believe that Dr. Furey does these surgeries as well. He is also at University Hospital.
