Ten questions to ask before pelvic nerve surgery — Evidence and experience

Medically reviewed by Dr Renaud Bollens — Professor of Urology

Evidence and experience

What the evidence and two decades of surgical experience say about questions before pelvic surgery.

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.

Dr Bollens is a professor of urology, a proctor in pelvic surgery and a published author on pudendal neuralgia.
