Introduction: Sacral neuromodulation and posterior tibial nerve stimulation for lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) and overactive bladder yield good and reliable results. However, neuromodulation research is continuously evolving because there is still need for more patient-friendly treatment options in the therapeutic management of LUTD. Pudendal neuromodulation (PNM) has been emerging as a promising alternative treatment option for the last few decades.

Importance: The utility of pudendal nerve blocks (PNBs) at the time of transvaginal surgery is mixed in the literature. No published study has evaluated the efficacy of PNB since the widespread adoption of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways.
Objective: This study aimed to determine if PNB, in addition to ERAS measures, at the time of vaginal reconstructive surgery reduces opioid use in the immediate postoperative period.

Objective: To describe the sonomorphological changes and appearance of deep endometriosis (DE) affecting the nervous tissue of the sacral plexus (SP).
Methods: This was a retrospective study of symptomatic patients who underwent radical resection of histologically confirmed DE affecting the SP and who had undergone preoperative transvaginal sonography (TVS) between 2019 and 2023. Lesions were described based on the terms and definitions of the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA), International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) and Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) groups.

Importance: Effective opioid-sparing postoperative analgesia requires a multimodal approach. Regional nerve blocks augment pain control in many surgical fields and may be applied to pelvic floor reconstruction.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of pudendal nerve block on postoperative pain control and opioid consumption after vaginal surgery.
