Abdominal wall nerve injury during laparoscopic gynecologic surgery: incidence, risk factors, and treatment outcomes
Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology, 07/05/2012

Shin JH et al. – There is an estimated 5% risk of clinically significant postoperative neuropathic pain due to injury of the iliohypogastric–ilioinguinal nerve with fascial closure of laparoscopic incisions in the lower abdomen.
