MP66-18 THE PUDENDAL NERVE BLOCK FOR AMBULATORY UROLOGY: THE OLD IS NEW AGAIN

CT Guided Pudendal Nerve Block

Purpose: Retrospective review of CT-guided pudendal nerve blockade for chronic pelvic pain caused by pudendal neuralgia. Materials & Methods: The study included 23 patients (average age, 40.6 yr; range, 25 71 yr) diagnosed with pudendal neuralgia. Diagnostic criteria were: pain in the anatomic distribution of the pudendal nerve, pain worsening with sitting, pain relieved by lying down, and no s...

Adding corticosteroids to the pudendal nerve block for pudendal neuralgia: a randomised, double‐blind, controlled trial

OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of corticosteroids combined with local anaesthetic versus local anaesthetic alone during infiltrations of the pudendal nerve for pudendal nerve entrapment. DESIGN Randomised, double-blind, controlled trial. SETTING Multicentre study. POPULATION 201 patients were included in the study, with a subgroup of 122 women. METHODS CT-guided pudendal nerve infiltra...

Dyspareunia Treated By Bilateral Pudendal Nerve Block

Dyspareunia, genital pain with intercourse, is a highly prevalent problem amongst female patients and a common cause of sexual dysfunction [1]. Dyspareunia is commonly classified as superficial or deep depending on the location of the pain. Superficial dyspareunia results from pain at the vaginal introitus upon penile penetration, whereas deep dyspareunia occurs with deep thrusting of the penis...

AMPylation: Something Old is New Again

The post-translational modification AMPylation is emerging as a significant regulatory mechanism in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic biology. This process involves the covalent addition of an adenosine monophosphate to a protein resulting in a modified protein with altered activity. Proteins capable of catalyzing AMPylation, termed AMPylators, are comparable to kinases in that they both hydrolyz...
