[Iatrogenic lesions of the lower extremity nerves--causes, prevention and indications to the surgical treatment].
Iatrogenic lesions of the nerve might be of a deliberate or unintentional character. The clinical material consisted of 73 patients treated surgically with unintentional injuries of the lower limbs nerves. Based on this material we analysed the causes of iatrogenic lesions of the lower limbs nerves and the probably mechanism of injury. The methods of prevention of these complications and the indication to surgical treatment were also described.
