Ten questions to ask before pelvic nerve surgery — Checklist

Medically reviewed by Dr Renaud Bollens — Professor of Urology

Checklist

A practical checklist for anyone dealing with questions before pelvic surgery — what to record, what to ask, and when to escalate.

Ask how many pudendal procedures the surgeon performs each year, what proportion of assessed patients they decline, and how they define success.

Ask what happens if surgery does not help, who manages your follow-up, and how they communicate with your physician at home.

A specialised centre will answer all of these without hesitation. At Pelvic Institute the answers are 600+ pelvic procedures, an exclusive focus on this field, and surgeon-led follow-up.

Bring your notes to the consultation; a well-documented history shortens the road to a diagnosis considerably.
