title: Physical therapy in a patient with bilateral obturator nerve paralysis after surgery. A case report.
abstract: Obturator nerve injury can result from surgical procedures. Bilateral obturator nerve injury developed in our patient as a result of edema in the obturator fossa after a debulking operation. In the postoperative period, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback, exercise and a home treatment program were used as the physical therapy approach. The patient became symptom-free after the physiotherapy program.
