Obturator nerve injury can be prevented by having a comprehensive knowledge of pelvic anatomy, and avoiding the use of electrocautery during lymph node dissection. The repair should be performed as soon as possible, with a tension-free reapproximation of the ends, using electrophysiological tests with a multidisciplinary approach and benefit should be taken from physiotherapy and medical treatment when needed.
