Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is increasingly diagnosed in children. Pediatric surgeons may be approached to perform a cutaneous neurectomy, the preferred operative approach, and may have no experience with the procedure. This report provides a detailed description of the operative technique used by a pediatric surgeon who has performed over 70 neurectomies for ACNES. Dissemination of this simple procedure will hopefully allow children with ACNES to undergo the procedure locally.
