TL;DR: Intraoperative peripheral nerve injuries are rare, but occasionally serious when related to lithotomy positioning with steep Trendelenburg, and the need for operating room nurses together with surgical team to have knowledge about mechanisms for injury, positioning, anatomy/physiology and evaluation of risk factors to ensure that patients are not exposed for intraoperative peripheral nerves injuries is emphasized.

Evaluation of Positioning Devices for Optimization of Outcomes in Laparoscopic and Robotic-Assisted Gynecologic Surgery.
TL;DR: The minimal slide described across studies supports the conclusion that any of the currently used devices and techniques for safe patient positioning are within reason and the low overall incidence of neuropathy is also reassuring.

TL;DR: The anatomical features and distribution of this lesion suggest that the damage to the nerve fibres is a direct result of the applied pressure, and not a consequence of secondary ischaemia.

Steve K. Lee,Scott W. Wolfe +1 more
TL;DR: Results of nerve repair to date have been no better than fair, with only 50% of patients regaining useful function, and there is much ongoing research regarding pharmacologic agents, immune system modulators, enhancing factors, and entubulation chambers.
