Ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve entrapment can cause chronic inguinal pain after abdominal surgery. A simple bedside procedure can confirm this rare diagnosis in patients with persistent lower abdominal pain.

Area of Science:

  • Pain Medicine
  • Surgical Neurology

Background:

  • Chronic inguinal pain is a recognized complication following lower abdominal surgery.
  • Ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve entrapment is a documented, though uncommon, etiology for such pain.

Observation:

  • Two patients presented with chronic lower abdominal pain to an emergency care unit.
  • Both patients had surgical histories consistent with risk factors for nerve entrapment.

Findings:

  • A simple bedside diagnostic procedure was employed.
  • This procedure successfully confirmed ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve entrapment in both cases.

Implications:

  • Highlights the utility of a straightforward diagnostic method for nerve entrapment.
