Intraoperative obturator nerve injury reconstructed using a PGA-collagen tube: Three case reports

We herein report three cases of obturator nerve injury, which is rare in gynecological surgery. In all cases, it was difficult to suture both nerve ends without tension. Therefore, we used a PGA-collagen tube to interpose the nerve defect. After follow-ups of at least seven months, all three patient...

Sumario:We herein report three cases of obturator nerve injury, which is rare in gynecological surgery. In all cases, it was difficult to suture both nerve ends without tension. Therefore, we used a PGA-collagen tube to interpose the nerve defect. After follow-ups of at least seven months, all three patients were able to adduct the hip joint and medial thigh sensations also improved. These results suggest the potential of a PGA-collagen tube in the treatment of obturator nerve injury.
