Health Organization for Pudendal Education

Well, I've known many people over the years with successful pudendal nerve release surgeries but specifically regarding dorsal nerve surgeries, I only know of one success so far.

Jackson, the impair ganglion and dorsal nerve are pretty far away from each other, so I would not conclude that if have irritation from ganglion impair block, that it is likely to have the same reaction after dorsal nerve block. However, dorsal nerve block requires pretty exprienced and skilled interventional radiologist. I did have dorsal nerve block with no improvement (however no worsening either).

The outcome of dorsal nerve decompression surgery is controversial, to put it mildly. Heavy critics have been outspoken with regard to Dellon previous works. However, dr. Aszmann seems to be more succesful, with several full revovery cases.

Several forum posters had excellent results after dorsal nerve decompression surgery but unfortunately after a couple of months, they progressively got worse and eventually reverted to their pre op status. if you had asked me 3 weeks after surgery, I would have said that I was almost cured. It was that dramatic.
I think it is fair to qualify as a success somebody that is better for at least 6 months after dorsal nerve decompression surgery.
There is visibly something that is not understood by the surgeons that diagnose and perform the surgery.

Hi flyer 28, You have a much better knowledge of the anatomy than I do (down there). I've had a look at the dorsal nerve distribution,(just discovered women have a dorsal nerve ,too). Interestingly, the left part of the dorsal nerve pretty much is where my pain flows from-back to the pubic region.

I was just thinking though, ganglion impar blocks (and I've lost the file I had) have something to do with afferent nerves and the sympathetic nervous system. It's most often given, in the case of men,for pain from from prostate cancer or prostate surgery. So, if it ideally gives relief to the genitals I'm not sure why the dorsal nerve would not be involved?

Cheers, maybe you can give me a link?
