Endoscopic-assisted sciatic nerve exploration

Minim Invasive Neurosurg. 2004 Jun;47(3):178-80. doi: 10.1055/s-2004-818488.

Abstract

A sciatic nerve lesion is uncommon. We report the utility of the endoscope in an 18-year-old female with multiple lesions of her sciatic nerve. Somatosensory evoked potentials and MRI were indicative of a sciatic nerve lesion. We describe a simple technique of endoscopic exploration of the sciatic nerve to assist intraoperative decision making.
