Case perspective
How a typical case of refer pelvic pain patient unfolds — from first symptom to a named diagnosis — in the practice of Prof. Dr Renaud Bollens.
We accept case reviews from physicians directly. The most useful package is a symptom summary, prior imaging, urology or gynaecology work-ups, and a list of treatments tried with responses.
Reviews are returned as a written opinion stating whether pudendal nerve involvement is likely and what should happen next, including when the answer is that surgery is not appropriate.
Referring physicians remain in the loop through treatment and follow-up.
Every case at Pelvic Institute is assessed by the operating surgeon, with more than 600 pelvic procedures behind that judgment.
