INTERNATIONAL UROGYNECOLOGY ASSOCIATION 2010

Post by Charlie »

Below are some presentations from the International Urogynecology Association 2010 conferance held in Toronto.

There are some helpful slides in the presentations. This one describes the common sites of compression for the pudendal nerve

Also this one was interesting. There has been a lot of talk about various scans for the pudendal nerve. However this slide presented by Antolak would suggest it is only possible to know for certain if you are entrapped during surgery. Admittedly this is only in a presentation by a single surgeon - Antolak.

Tried numerous medications as well as a long period of myofascial physical therapy combined with meditation/relaxation. My pelvic floor muscles are now normal and relaxed on exam ( confirmed by many Pelvic floor PTs) yet my pain remains the same. Also have intense leg pain. Deciding on next treatment.

Oh wow! Thanks for posting this Charlie. I thought you had to be a member of their association to see these but I'm very happy that you have found them available online!
PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

Your welcome. They are excellent presentations. For example if you are considering the TG surgery the presentation entitled Pudendal Nerve Decompression Surgery: Transgluteal Technique gives a good explanation of the operation. Obviously different surgeons have varying techniques but it is a good over view. Also Case Presentation and Discussion describes a surgery success.
