Lumbosacral plexus lesions, often caused by trauma or tumors, require a multidisciplinary approach for diagnosis and treatment. Surgical intervention can lead to significant pain control and improved mobility, with most patients regaining unaided walking ability.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Lumbosacral plexus lesions present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
  • Understanding lesion mechanisms is crucial for effective patient management.
  • Optimizing patient outcomes necessitates a comprehensive approach.

Observation:

  • Eight patients with lumbosacral plexus lesions underwent surgical treatment.
  • Lesion causes included high-energy trauma, firearm injuries, spontaneous hematoma, and schwannoma.
  • Diagnosis involved clinical evaluation, electrophysiology, MRI, and CT myelography.

Findings:

  • Surgical approaches included lateral extraperitoneal and transperitoneal methods.
  • Neuronavigation was utilized for a schwannoma case.

  • Pain was effectively managed in all patients post-surgery.

    • Implications:

    • Lumbosacral plexus lesions demand a challenging, multidisciplinary diagnostic and treatment strategy.
    • Delayed outcomes can be encouraging, with significant functional recovery.
    • Six out of eight patients achieved unaided ambulation, highlighting treatment efficacy.
