Going in to see dr. Conway to do transgluteal decompression surgery. I'm pretty sure that my entrapments are in the alcocks canal. Do they slice open the canal to let the nerve and artery breath?
Can anyone that has done this surgery let me know what's specifically is going to happen?

Re: Pudendal decompression surgery with Dr. Conway
Last I heard Conway does the TG approach which you can read about at the following link: http://www.pudendalhope.info/node/23
My understanding is that he does not completely cut across the ST ligament but just makes a slit in the ligament so he can access the nerve. But you would need to check with Dr. Conway to find out for sure what he does currently.

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.
