Presacral neurectomy (PSN) effectively treats midline pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea in women. Laparoscopic presacral neurectomy (LPSN) offers a minimally-invasive surgical option for these conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Presacral neurectomy (PSN) has a long history of treating midline pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea.
  • Midline pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea significantly impact women's health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the efficacy of presacral neurectomy (PSN) for midline pelvic pain.
  • To discuss the advancements in laparoscopic presacral neurectomy (LPSN) techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical and recent surgical approaches for PSN.
  • Focus on minimally-invasive laparoscopic techniques (LPSN).

Main Results:

  • PSN has been a successful treatment for nearly a century.
  • LPSN enables minimally-invasive surgical treatment for pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea.
