A member asked:
Is the sciatic nerve treated when damaged by an operation at the groin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Regeneration: The sciatic nerve travels through the buttocks. The femoral nerve travels through the groin. Nerves can often regenerate, but may require surgical exploration. The best way to monitor a nerve's progress is by a careful examination and EMG study.
