Regional analgesia is an important adjunct for perioperative pain management in the setting of pediatric penile surgeries. Caudal epidural analgesia (CEA) is the most common analgesic technique performed, but it has limitations and associated morbidity. The pudendal nerve block (PNB) is an effective alternative to CEA with a lower risk profile; in prior examination of the approach, PNB has been demonstrated to have similar postoperative pain control outcomes. We describe our technique and highlight observations made as we have transitioned from CEA to PNB for many patients.

Background: Neurophysiological investigations are infrequently utilized in the diagnostic workup of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
Objective: To determine the potential contributions of neurophysiological assessments in the diagnostic process of LUTS and their integration into systemic neurological and psychosomatic disorders.
Materials And Methods: This study elucidates the role of neurophysiological tests specific to pelvic floor diagnostics, namely pudendal nerve somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEP) and external anal sphincter electromyography (EMG), through the presentation of two clinical case reports.
Objective: To create a comprehensive overview of imaging methods for diagnosing pudendal neuralgia.
Methodology: Literature review.
Conclusion: Pudendal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that is difficult to diagnose.
