This book is a procedural manual focused specifically on interventional techniques for managing chronic pelvic pain (CPP). It brings together anatomy, pain mechanisms, imaging, and practical procedural guidance tailored to pelvic structures, nerves, and pain generators.
✨ Key Features
-
Procedure-focused chapters: Each intervention is laid out with indications, anatomical considerations, step-by-step technique, complications, and imaging guidance.
-
Full-color anatomy and imaging: Visuals including anatomy drawings, ultrasound, CT/MR images, and clinical photographs support the procedures.
-
Range of pelvic interventions: Includes blocks and injections such as ganglion impar block, hypogastric plexus block, ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve blocks, caudal epidurals, transvaginal injection techniques, and neuromodulation strategies.
-
Discussion of non-interventional topics: Covers epidemiology of pelvic pain, pain physiology, non-pharmacologic therapies, and integrated management approaches.
-
Special populations: May include considerations in gender-affirming surgery, pelvic pain in different anatomical variations, etc.
✅ Key Benefits
