A minimally invasive, endoscopic transgluteal procedure for pudendal nerve and inferior cluneal nerve neurolysis in case of entrapment: 3- and 6-month results. The ENTRAMI technique for neurolysis.

Abstract

Pudendal and cluneal nerve entrapment can cause a neuropathic pain syndrome in the sensitive areas innervated by these nerves. Recently, a new endoscopic minimal invasive approach for pudendal and inferior cluneal nerve neurolysis has been published in a cadaver study. The aim of our study was to describe the feasibility of this new approach and to evaluate the clinical outcome.
