Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Endoscopic sciatic nerve decompression is a surgical technique used to treat conditions causing sciatic nerve compression.
  • Postoperative complications, such as hematoma formation and infection, can occur following surgical interventions.
  • Sciatic nerve injury can lead to significant motor and sensory deficits, impacting patient mobility and quality of life.

Observation:

  • A 24-year-old male patient developed an infected hematoma after undergoing endoscopic sciatic nerve decompression.
  • The infected hematoma resulted in a sciatic nerve injury.
  • Cultures from the hematoma identified *Salmonella* as the causative agent.

Findings:

  • Urgent surgical evacuation of the infected hematoma was performed.
  • The patient received appropriate treatment for the *Salmonella* infection.
  • At 4 months post-procedure, the patient demonstrated improvement in both motor and sensory function of the affected sciatic nerve.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the critical need for meticulous hemostasis during endoscopic sciatic nerve decompression to prevent hematoma formation.
  • Early recognition and management of postoperative infections, particularly those caused by unusual pathogens like *Salmonella*, are crucial for favorable outcomes.
  • Effective treatment of infected hematomas can lead to recovery of nerve function, even after significant injury.
