What Causes Numbness In The Right Thigh After A Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?

Two weeks ago I had a total laparoscopic hysterectomy for early stage endometrial cancer. Since the surgery my right thigh has been numb with a burning sensation in the groin radiating into my right thigh. I went to the ER to rule out a blood clot as I have a history of DVT. The ER doctor felt sure the problem was related to the surgery possibly a clipped nerve. The problem is not getting any better. Could you give me your opinion? YYYY@YYYY

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think your problem is related to surgery. Maybe the operation site is still edematous or something went wrong.
You should consider visiting your gynecologist who did the intervention.

Best Regards.
