Abstract

Case 4 the nerve escaped permanent damage owing to the incision having been restricted anteriorly to the anterior superior iliac spine. Awareness of this complication would lead to its prevention. Because of unpredictable variation in the course of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh, the incision should not be extended anteriorly beyond the anterior superior iliac spine. It is possible that in many cases these lesions go undetec- ted owing to absence of complications.
