Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the topic of pudendal nerve entrapment following a posterior transvaginal mesh procedure is discussed. The video begins with an overview of pudendal neuralgia and its symptoms, particularly in women. It is described as a severe and disabling pain syndrome affecting the clitoris, vulva, perineum, and rectum. The video then showcases a cataveric dissection technique to expose and release pudendal nerve entrapment. Additionally, a cataveric dissection study is presented, which shows the distance between posterior mesh arms and the pudendal nerve and its branches. The video concludes by emphasizing the need for caution during surgery to prevent pudendal nerve injury.
