Dr. Jacques Beco is an obstetrician and gynecologist who performs pudendal nerve decompression surgery using the perineal approach under endoscopic control (“pudendoscopy”). After the opening of the Alcock’s canal and mobilization of the perineal branch, Dr. Beco opens the clamp between the sacro-spinal and sacro-tuberous ligaments and cuts the sacro-spinal ligament with the wire loop of a rectoscope that uses high frequency electrical current.  Transposition of the pudendal nerve or of its branches is the last step of the procedure.  To see the video of the procedure click on : www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXrRFo7ffYE

Dr. Renaud Bollens (Urologist) and Dr Fabienne Absil (Gynecologist) are specialists in Pudendal neuropathy syndrome. They have wide experience in pudendal nerve surgery, released by laparoscopic surgery. They have multiple publications on the subject in pubmed. Videos (full length) are available on their YouTube channels (Fabienne Absil or Renaud Bollens). For them the surgical decompression should be proposed early in this pathology to improve the prognosis. The minimal invasive technique allows them to try without major side effects related to the access. They believe that the pathology is mainly a functional problem and only a small percentage of patients will have severe pain, and that it is fundamental to diagnose the problem early before the painful syndrome to prevent the endpoint evolution of severe pain. For more information, please go to their information sheet for pudendal neuralgia patients. (Link to the information sheet – click here.)

Dr. Eric Bautrant is a pelvic surgeon in France who performs the trans-ischio-rectal fossa approach to pudendal nerve decompression surgery. This approach requires a small vaginal incision in women and a small incision between the anal area and scrotum for men. Usually the sacrospinous ligament is partially severed to relieve the compressed nerve but the sacrotuberous ligament is spared. To read more about his procedure click on this link:  www.perineology.com/files/pne_bautrant.pdf

It is best to contact him through e-mail.

Dr. Eric de Bisschop is a vascular physician and electrophysiologist who pracitices in Aubagne close to Marseille, France. He performs EMG’s and does EMG guided pudendal nerve and ilioinguinal nerve blocks.  Since November of 2009 Dr. de Bisschop has performed PNE decompression surgery using the perineal approach with a balloon probe, sparing the ligament.

Dr. de Bisschop works with his wife, Dr. Rajeshree Nundall who uses angiology to assess the pudendal blood vessels. If there is a pudendal nerve entrapment the blood vessels will also be entrapped since they travel alongside each other. Angiology confirms EMG testing and gives information about tissues including scar tissue after surgery. This is a link to Dr. Nundall’s scientific paper:

Spain

Our multidisciplinary Spanish team, located in Madrid, capital of Spain is helping patients suffering myofascial pelvic pain syndrome, pudendal nerve entrapment and other pathologies with chronic pelvic pain.
Dr. Fernando Itza is a pain medicine expert and coordinator of this team.  Dr. Itza performs conservative treatments:  nerve blocks, perineural blocks, trigger point injections, Botox injections and neurostimulation.  He provides medication management for neuropathic pain.
A remarkable datum is that only 3-4% of patients suffering chronic pelvic pain are affected by pudendal nerve entrapment syndrome.
At this moment, we are sending possible surgical procedures to Dr. Bautrant in Aix-en-Provence in France.  The surgery will be done in Spain as soon as possible according to Dr. Bautrant’s availability.
Dr. Gomez, urologist, provides the first diagnosis and offers the intraprostatic injections when needed (according to Dr. Guercini’s technique).
Dr. Zarza, neurophysiologist, performs neurophysiological tests including:   pudendal nerve motor latency, bulbocavernosus reflex, evoked potentials, sympathetic-cutaneous response and electromyography of the external anal sphincter, the levator ani muscle or other muscles. In addition, he is able to carry out Botox injections and monitoring of neuromuscular blocks.
Our physical therapists team, led by Sol Hergueta and Laura Moraleda, is able to carry out pre-operative care and post-operative care for pudendal entrapment.  They are specialized in treating myofascial pelvic pain syndromes, for example, levator ani syndrome.
