J Hip Preserv Surg. 2015 Jul;2(2):92-8. doi: 10.1093/jhps/hnv030. Epub 2015 Jun 6.

Abstract

It is long known that a large portion of the lumbosacral plexus is located intra-abdominally, in the retroperitoneal space. However, most of literature descriptions of lesions on this plexus refer to its extra-abdominal parts whereas its intra-abdominal portions are often neglected. The objective of this review article is to describe the laparoscopic anatomy of intrapelvic nerve bundles, as well as the findings and advances already achieved by Neuropelveology practitioners.
