“…Primary inflammatory and rheumatologic etiologies such as polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and Lupus are less likely given our patient's normal CK and CRP values, but muscle biopsies should be considered on an individual basis. Additionally, femoral neuropathy has been reported after major pelvic surgeries, but onset occurs immediately after surgery [10,11]. Our patient's neuropathy and myopathy are unlikely caused by either chemotherapy or RT alone, and the onset, location, and quality of symptoms experienced make RRR the most likely explanation.…”

“…Meist werden als Ursachen unkorrekt eingesetzte Hohmann-Hebel, selbstschneidende Schrauben oder die Elektrokoagulation angegeben. Bei den gynäkologischen Operationen kommt es vor allem bei der abdominellen [3], seltener bei der vaginalen Hysterektomie [1,2] zu iatrogenen N. femoralis-Läsionen, deren Prognose allerdings durchwegs als gut angegeben wird. Obwohl die Anzahl der iatrogenen Nervenläsionen ganz allgemein zunimmt, herrscht vielfach noch die Meinung, dass man bis zur Besserung Monate zuwarten kann und muss.…”
