Disabling pelvic pain following open surgery for rectal prolapse: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 09/22/09

Romy S et al. – A 60–year–old Swiss Caucasian woman developed disabling pelvic pain in the right iliac fossa, radiating to the upper posterior side of the right thigh and right labium majus characterized by electric feelings. This followed resection and bilateral rectal fixation to the sacral promontory as treatment for rectal prolapse. Investigations included a multidisciplinary neurological pain evaluation. A computed tomography scan did not reveal any cause. Revision surgery was performed and a foreign body, a thread, was found wrapped around the inferior hypogastric plexus and was removed. Four years later, the patient remains asymptomatic. This case emphasizes the importance of careful identification of the inferior hypogastric plexus during primary pelvic surgery.
