| Popis: | Entrapment neuropathy of the sciatic nerve and pudendal nerve are painful syndromes that are often overlooked by physicians. Laparoscopic surgical interventions for nerve entrapment syndromes of the posterior pelvis focus on removing the compression lesion with the purpose of eliminating the suspected cause of sciatica, as well as pudendal neuralgia. Herein, the authors report the rare event of sciatic and pudendal nerve entrapment, which was caused by aberrant vessels and a variant piriformis muscle bundle, as a seldom-diagnosed cause of sciatica and pelvic pain, for both neurosurgeons and neuropelveologists. The authors present the laparoscopic decompression technique for the pudendal and sciatic nerves by giving our technical “tips and tricks” enriched by a surgical video. |
