A Morphometric Study of the Obturator Nerve around the Obturator Foramen [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Korean Neurosurgical Society, 2016
Obturator neuropathy is a rare condition. Many neurosurgeons are unfamiliar with the obturator nerve anatomy. The purpose of this study was to define obturator nerve landmarks around the obturator foramen.Fourteen cadavers were studied bilaterally to measure the distances from the nerve root to relevant anatomical landmarks near the obturator nerve ...

Peripheral nerve blockade as an exclusive approach to obturator nerve block in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery [PDF]

open access: yesKorean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2013
BackgroundObturator nerve block plays an additive role on the quality of analgesia for knee surgery. Since the use of dual guidance increases the success rate of nerve blocks, we investigated the feasibility of performing anterior cruciate ligament ...

A novel method for sciatic nerve decompression: Cadaveric feasibility study with potential application to patients with piriformis syndrome

open access: yesTranslational Research in Anatomy, 2015
Introduction: Approaches for proximal sciatic nerve decompression use a transgluteal route, but are associated with morbidity and complications. An alternative anterior approach to the sciatic nerve was designed.

Malignant schwannoma of the obturator nerve

open access: yesBratislava Medical Journal, 2013
Lesions of obturator nerve are rare. Tumours and mainly malignant schwannoma of this nerve are extremely rare. The authors describe an unusual case of a gigantic schwannoma of the obturator nerve in 69 year old woman. Due to tumour expansion in the proximal part of the thigh MRI was performed and demonstrated extensive tumour originating most probably ...
