Zusammenfassung
Periphere Nervenverletzungen im Rahmen operativer Eingriffe stellen insgesamt glücklicherweise seltene Ereignisse dar. Eine perioperativ entstandene Nervenläsion hat zudem in der Regel eine gute Prognose. Ursächlich kommen neben unmittelbar durch den Operationsvorgang hervorgerufene Traumata insbesondere lagerungsbedingte Schädigungen vor. Es wird hier von einer Verletzung des N. cutaneus femoris lateralis im Rahmen einer laparoskopischen Sterilisation in Vollnarkose berichtet, mutmaßliche Schädigungsursachen werden unter besonderer Berücksichtigung medico-legaler Fragen diskutiert.
Abstract
Injuries of peripheral nerves are seldom but well known complications in general surgery and anesthesia. Their recovery is mostly good. Direct trauma due to surgery itself or positioning associated lesions count for the vast majority of cases. We report a patient who underwent laparoscopy for sterilisation in general anesthesia which was followed by a lesion of the right cutaneous femoral lateral nerve. Mechanisms of injury are discussed as well as aspects of medical litigation arising from this case.
