Abstract:
Vulvar pain can be a difficult and frustrating problem for patients and practitioners. Often, no specific etiology can be determined for these symptoms. Treatment can be long and difficult as well.Spondylosyndesis is a common surgical procedure where the vertebrae are fused to decrease motion. There are several indications for this procedure. We report 2 patients who developed vulvar pain postoperatively after a spondylosyndesis procedure. Neither patient had a history of vulvar pain before their procedure. Of note, both patients had had a previous spondylosyndesis procedure in the past.Damage to lumbar nerves during spondylosyndesis procedures may precipitate vulvar pain in some patients.
