pudendal neuralgia/hemorrhage

BACKGROUND Pudendal neuralgia is an entrapment syndrome whose both anatomic landmarks and operative technique remain relatively unfamiliar to neurosurgeons. OBJECTIVE To provide an outline of operative steps that is important to correct application of this approach. METHODS Surgical illustrations

Clinical examination, proctosigmoidoscopy, rectal biopsies, barium enema and pelvic floor physiology studies were performed in four patients with solitary rectal ulcer syndrome. All patients had chronic constipation and rectal bleeding. Resting tone and voluntary contraction were found to be

BACKGROUND Some patients have pelvic, pudendal, or low lumbar pain radiating into the legs that is worse while sitting but differs from pudendal neuralgia. The purpose of this study was to present a new clinical entity of neuropathic pelvic pain by pelvic neuro-vascular entrapment. OBJECTIVE To

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of postoperative complications after Harmonic Scalpels hemorrhoidectomy and to identify any predisposing factors leading to postoperative complications. METHODS Five hundred consecutive cases of Harmonic Scalpel hemorrhoidectomy were

BACKGROUND We aimed in this study to investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic pudendal nerve decompression and transposition (LaPNDT) in the treatment of chronic pelvic pain due to pudendal neuralgia. Pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE) between the sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments is the most
