Transient femoral nerve neuropathy secondary to haematoma after medial thigh lift

We report an unusual and rare complication of transient femoral nerve neuropathy secondary to a large haematoma after medial thigh lift surgery. This has never been previously reported in the literature in association with this procedure. It is prudent to raise awareness that such a significant complication, although rare, can occur even with such a benign procedure, and that it is readily reversible with prompt recognition and early treatment.
