Abstract
-
As laparoscopic surgery becomes more popular, various complications following the laparoscope
are also increasing. Nerve injury following the laparoscope is an infrequent but serious
complication for both the doctor and patient. A 30-year old female patient suffered severe
buming pain of the left buttock, inguinal area, external genitalia and inner side of vagina
following laparoscopic surgery for ovarian mass. We successfully treated this patient with
ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric nerve block in combination with epidural blocks.
