Who is a candidate for pudendal nerve surgery? — Clinical guide

Medically reviewed by Dr Renaud Bollens — Professor of Urology

Clinical guide

A clear clinical guide to candidate pudendal nerve surgery, written for patients in New York and across the United States who are still looking for a straight answer.

A good candidate has symptoms in the pudendal nerve territory, a positional pattern, a supportive response to a diagnostic block, and no better explanation from previous investigations.

Widespread pain with no nerve-specific pattern, or pain fully explained by another condition, is usually better served by other treatment. Saying so honestly is part of the job.

Every candidate assessment at Pelvic Institute is done by the operating surgeon, not delegated.

If this describes your situation, a specialist review of candidate pudendal nerve surgery can be arranged remotely from anywhere in the United States.
