Abstract
Meralgia paresthetica may be associated with diabetes, trauma, infection, and use of self-retaining retractors. Our patient experienced left upper thigh paresthesia after undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy with extensive dissection of the left retroperitoneal space. Neurologic evaluation confirmed meralgia paresthetica. The patient was observed for 4 months, by which time the neuropathy resolved spontaneously.Entities:
