Meralgia paraesthetica is an entrapment neuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, usually due to compression at the inguinal ligament as the nerve passes from the pelvis into the thigh. Surgical decompression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is a simple and effective treatment option, but the surgical anatomy of the area is not always familiar to neurosurgeons and neurosurgical trainees alike. This paper is a simple review of the relevant surgical anatomy and the surgical steps of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve decompression, with the aim of providing the busy surgeon and trainee a quick and easy reference guide to the procedure.
股外侧皮神经感觉异常是一种股外侧皮神经卡压性神经病，通常是由于神经从骨盆进入大腿时在腹股沟韧带处受压所致。股外侧皮神经的手术减压是一种简单有效的治疗选择，但该区域的手术解剖结构并非神经外科医生和神经外科实习生都熟悉。本文对相关手术解剖结构和股外侧皮神经减压的手术步骤进行了简要回顾，旨在为忙碌的外科医生和实习生提供一份关于该手术的快速简易参考指南。
