While there is no difference seen in outcomes between open and endoscopic surgery, the endoscopic approach has a lower complication rate [65] and is significantly less invasive (open surgery can involve a 10 cm incision [64]). Piriformis syndrome surgery is still in the preliminary stages and so there are no randomized, prospective trials or ...

Piriformis syndrome is a condition that, depending on the analysis, varies from a "very rare" cause to contributing up to 8% of low back or buttock pain. [16] In 17% of people, the sciatic nerve runs through the piriformis muscle rather than beneath it. [ 15 ]
Piriformis syndrome; Frequency: 1 in 100,000 [10] Pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE) is an uncommon, chronic pelvic pain condition in which the pudendal nerve (located ...
Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve , though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc , for example).
Deep gluteal syndrome; Deep gluteal space anatomy: Symptoms: Pain in the hip, buttocks, or thigh. Often pain when sitting or with certain hip movements. Often unilateral radiating pain. [1] Causes: Most common are (1) fibrotic adhesions tethering the sciatic nerve and (2) piriformis syndrome. [2] Diagnostic method: First ruling out lumbar ...
The piriformis syndrome, which is also called deep gluteal syndrome or gluteal pain syndrome, is the pain or numbness in the posterior thigh, the buttock, and the hip, with radiation or radicular pain in the sciatic nerve distribution. [3]
Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis irritates the sciatic nerve, which comes into the gluteal region beneath the muscle, causing pain in the buttocks and referred pain along the sciatic nerve. [8] This referred pain is known as sciatica. Seventeen percent of the population has their sciatic nerve coursing through the piriformis muscle.
