Lumbosacral plexopathy after gynecologic surgery: case report and review of the literature

Article Abstract:

Rare cases of nerve damage and impaired movement in the lower back following gynecologic surgery may be prevented by minimizing compression and trauma to the nerves. A thin 31-year-old woman experienced pain, bowel and bladder problems after various gynecologic surgeries and deliveries of two infants. Her symptoms were thought to derive from damage in the lumbosacral region. A review of the medical literature and of hospital records revealed few similar cases. Most such cases improve over time without treatment. Major nerves in the lumbosacral region and ways in which they may be damaged are discussed.
