Pudendal Nerve Block

Summary: It is still widely taught that adequate local analgesia to the vulval area is only achieved by a combination of pudendal nerve block and local infiltration of the vulva. Pudendal block performed on a series of patients demonstrates the fallacy of this teaching. The frequent involvement of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve during pudendal block explains the more extensive area of analgesia obtained than would be expected by blocking the pudendal nerve alone.
