Abstract
|
|
|
|
As the expertise of the surgeon improves in arthroscopic surgery of the hip, the number of conditions treated by it also increases. In this case, an arthroscopic treatment was performed on a patient with piriformis syndrome due to schwannoma on the sciatic nerve. Meticulous excision of the cystic lesion on the sciatic nerve was completely performed and neither recurrence nor complication of the surgery was observed. Endoscopic excision using arthroscopy is useful for reducing postoperative pain and achieving early return to activities for the patient.
