Abstract
The exoscope serves as a valuable addition or alternative to traditional microscope systems in surgery, offering 3D visualization and magnification with enhanced maneuverability. In lateral femoral cutaneous nerve decompression for meralgia paresthetica, the exoscope is effective in identifying strictures of neural compression and minimizing iatrogenic nerve damage that may lead to improved pain management outcomes for patients. In this report, the specific case presented showcases how the exoscope aided in surgical decompression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of a patient with refractory meralgia paresthetica with remote previous decompression and resultant scarring.
