Dedicated to improve the lives of our patients

If you are suffering from chronic pain and numbness and are searching for relief and a return to a more active and pain-free life, peripheral nerve surgery could be the procedure that finally restores you to health. With office in in Papillion and outreach in Atkinson, Dr. Demetrio Aguila is one of the nation’s top peripheral nerve surgeons – and one of the few who performs the procedure in this part of the country.

A member of the American Society for Peripheral Nerve, Dr. Aguila specializes in peripheral nerve surgery and has helped patients from around the country regain pain-free and healthy lives. Doctor Aguila focuses on treating patients with chronic pain or numbness due to diabetic neuropathy, chemotherapy treatments, trauma or surgery. He specializes in cases involving the lower extremities and the abdomen, often treating patients who have undergone C-sections or inguinal hernia repair. He has also had great success in treating patients with chronic pain from shingles. And Doctor Aguila is among the only surgeons to perform peripheral nerve surgery in the region, including all of Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Iowa and Kansas.

Doctor Aguila trained under Dr. A. Lee Dellon, head of the internationally respected Dellon Institutes for Peripheral Nerve Surgery.

Doctor Aguila has brought the knowledge he gained under Dr. Dellon to Nebraska and has become the region’s most respected peripheral nerve surgeon.

Neuropathy can cause serious physical problems, including amputations in severe cases. Patients with nerve problems often suffer a loss of sensation, along with pain that can be intense and debilitating. Peripheral nerve surgery can help relieve painful symptoms in your legs, ankles and feet.

Sometimes peripheral nerve pain can be traced to problems in the joints. Cases Dr. Aguila can treat include:
- Pain following knee replacement surgery
- Groin pain after hernia surgery
- Pain from Caesarian section deliveries

Doctor Aguila understands that getting to know his patients one-on-one is key to successful diagnosis and treatment. If you are suffering from chronic pain, and aren’t sure what’s behind your pain, a nerve problem could be the culprit.

Doctor Aguila will take the time to review your medical history, conduct all necessary tests to make a proper diagnosis and then recommend the peripheral nerve surgery that’s right for you.

Along with his expertise in peripheral nerve surgery, Dr. Aguila is a diplomate with the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology.
