About this procedure

Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Decompression is a surgical procedure to treat the compression or dysfunction of the nerve that lies around the outer portion of the thigh, beneath the hip and above the knee. An incision is made on the skin at the groin and an antiseptic solution is used to wash the incision area. The incision is cut deeper into the first fascia layer. Then the fascia above the muscle and nerve is cut with a sharp blade. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is then identified, which lies beneath the fascia. The nerve is followed up to the inguinal ligament to find the exact area through which it comes. If the nerve has to be decompressed, the hole is opened. If the nerve has to be divided, it is pulled through the hole and cut. The stump is drawn back to the abdomen. After the bleeding stops, the incision is closed and covered with dressing and bandage
