New York
Who is a candidate for pudendal nerve surgery?, seen through the experience of patients in New York, where sitting, commuting and desk work dominate the day.
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.
Video consultations are scheduled for Eastern Time so New York patients do not need to take a day off to be assessed.
