Giant schwannomas of the sciatic nerve [PDF]
BMJ Case Reports, 2017 We report a very rare case of giant schwannomas of the sciatic nerve in a 39-year-old woman who presented with increasing swelling and discomfort in the posterior aspect of her right thigh. We demonstrate that even with such large tumours, surgical excision could be successfully carried out to resolve all symptoms while causing no permanent nerve ...

Continuous sciatic nerve block [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 1984 SummaryA technique of continuous sciatic nerve block is described. The method was used to relieve pain from ischaemic gangrene of the foot for 2 days before below‐knee amputation and, combined with a continuous inguinal paravascular block, to provide regional anaesthesia both for the surgery and for the first 2 postoperative days.

Surgically Induced Demyelination in Rat Sciatic Nerve
Brain Sciences, 2023 Demyelination is a common sign of peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) caused by damage to the myelin sheath surrounding axons in the sciatic nerve. There are not many methods to induce demyelination in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) using animal models.
