Abstract
SummaryIatrogenic femoral nerve injury is an uncommon but recognised complication of abdominal and gynaecological surgery.There have been several reported cases following colorectal surgery which specifically report transient femoral nerve neuropathies with variable but often full recovery. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of femoral nerve reconstruction after iatrogenic resection during right hemicolectomy.We present a case report of complete femoral nerve transection following abdominal surgery and discuss our management.
