Abstract:
A 26-year-old patient underwent pelvic lymphadenectomy and trachelectomy because of cervical cancer stage IB. Later she developed symptoms from obturator nerve entrapment. Examinations could not reveal metastatic cancer disease, but endometriosis surrounding the obturator nerve was discovered. Laparoscopic removal of the endometriotic tissue surrounding the nerve was performed and the patient's symptoms then disappeared.
