Laparoscopic Pudendal Nerve Release at the Level of Sacrospinous Ligament.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisPudendal nerve release can be managed by the laparoscopic approach for pudendal nerve entrapment.
methodsThis is a case report of a stepwise demonstration of the technique with narrated video footage. A 71-year-old woman, gravid 7, parity 3, abortion 4, live births 3 vaginal delivery, complained of pain while sitting. She had been having vaginal and vulvar pain on the left side for 3 years. At vaginal examination, she had pain over the sacrospinous ligament with palpation. Tinel's sign (+) on the left side. Left side pudendal nerve block relieves pain for 1 h. Using a laparoscopic approach for a left pudendal nerve release at the level of sacrospinous ligament, the dissection started at the level of medial to the infundibulopelvic ligament, after visualization of obliterated umbilical artery and obturator nerve and vessels, dissection continued deeper to the pelvic floor visualizing the obturator internus muscle, then pudendal nerve and vessels are identified and the coccygeus muscle and sacrospinous ligament are observed. The sacrospinous ligament is cut all the way to the entrance of Alcock's canal.
resultsThe operation was finished without any complication and the patient was discharged after the operation day. Pain decreased on her postoperative examination. Follow-up visits will be continued at 3 and 6 months.
conclusionsLaparoscopic pudendal nerve release is reproducible, effective, safe, and has a steep learning curve method for the management of pudendal nerve entrapment.
