Hi Violet,
No real negative effects of the surgery. It did relieve a major trigger point, but not my primary left testicular pain, which I've had pre- and post-orchiectomy.
After cutting the branch, the proximal end was turned and implanted deeply within the Alcock canal. The distal end was cauterized
near the skin.

Cutting the Perineal Branch
Re: Cutting the Perineal Branch
Left testicle pain since 2008. Left sciatica 2010-2012. Failed left epididectomy, orchiectomy, botox injections, nerve blocks and internal physical therapy. Genital branch of genitofemoral and perineal branch of pudendal nerve cut. L5-S1 microdiscectomy cured sciatica. Dorsal Root Ganglion nerve stimulator failed to help and was removed. I have had 4 pudendal nerve blocks, two from Dr. Poree worked for 2 hrs. The ONLY break from pain ever.
