Case perspective
How a typical case of pudendal surgery recovery time unfolds — from first symptom to a named diagnosis — in the practice of Prof. Dr Renaud Bollens.
Wound healing takes weeks; nerve recovery takes months. Many patients notice change between three and twelve months, and improvement can continue into the second year.
Some patients experience a temporary increase in symptoms early in recovery as the nerve regenerates. Knowing this in advance turns an alarming experience into an expected one.
Our follow-up schedule is planned before surgery and delivered remotely for international patients.
Every case at Pelvic Institute is assessed by the operating surgeon, with more than 600 pelvic procedures behind that judgment.
