Post herniorrhaphy pain syndrome, or inguinodynia is pain or discomfort lasting greater than 3 months after surgery of inguinal hernia. Randomized trials of laparoscopic vs open inguinal hernia repair have demonstrated similar recurrence rates with the use of mesh and have identified that chronic groin pain (>10%) surpasses recurrence (<2%) and is an important measure of success.
Sciatic nerve entrapment by fibrovascular bands. (a) Endoscopic view of sciatic nerve (N) by fibrovascular bands (FV). (b) Endoscopic view of sciatic nerve (N) after decompression. Surgery involves a nerve decompression with or without muscle resection. [5] The surgery can be performed with external incisions (open surgery) or endoscopically.
The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) is a purely sensory nerve, [3] [2] and consequently the symptoms are also sensory. [4] Symptoms are typically unilateral, seen in about 78% of cases, but may be bilateral. [4] [2] The most common symptom is pain, paresthesias, or dysthesias on the anterolateral surface of the thigh that extends just ...
Piriformis muscle spasm may compress the sciatic nerve. [20] As the piriformis muscle spasms, it shortens and becomes harder, applying greater pressure on the sciatic nerve against the ischium at the inferior greater sciatic foramen. The empirical evidence supporting this is that patients can often see immediate and permanent relief from local ...
The symptoms of osteitis pubis can include loss of flexibility in the groin region, dull aching pain in the groin, or in more severe cases, a sharp stabbing pain when running, kicking, changing directions, or even during routine activities such as standing up or getting out of a car. Tenderness on palpation is also commonly present in the ...
Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve, though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc, for example).

A nerve decompression is a neurosurgical procedure to relieve chronic, direct pressure on a nerve to treat nerve entrapment, a pain syndrome characterized by severe chronic pain and muscle weakness. In this way a nerve decompression targets the underlying pathophysiology of the syndrome and is considered a first-line surgical treatment option ...
