Surgical Decompression of Pudendal Neuralgia Due to Entrapment Beneath a Bifurcate Piriformis Muscle
Pudendal nerve entrapment by the piriformis is an uncommon cause of pudendal neuralgia that can be effectively treated with surgical intervention. We demonstrate an open posterolateral hip approach may provide significant pain relief and satisfactory improvements in patient-reported outcomes in management of this pathology.
