United States focus
What patients in the United States should know about candidate pudendal nerve surgery, and how care abroad fits alongside care at home.
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.
US patients keep their local physician in the loop throughout; we share our written opinion with them directly on request.
