Femoral neuropathy after pelvic surgery.
Femoral neuropathy is an uncommon complication following pelvic surgery. We report on 2 cases of femoral nerve injury after pelvic surgery: 1 patient received radical cystectomy due to invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder, and the other patient had a transurethral resection of the bladder and received exploration and biopsy of a tumor mass over the right sacroiliac joint area. Pathogenesis and prevention of the complication of femoral neuropathy are discussed in the following report.
