Recurrence of meralgia paresthetica years after a neurexeresis procedure: A case report

Recurrence of meralgia paresthetica after a pain-free interval following a neurexeresis or neurectomy procedure has not been reported before. We present a case of recurrence 5 years after neurexeresis of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Resection of the proximal stump through a suprainguinal approach in this case again led to complete and long-lasting pain relief.
