pelvic nerve preservation

Pelvic nerve preservation involves careful surgical techniques during pelvic procedures to protect the nerves responsible for controlling bladder, bowel, and sexual functions. These nerves run through the pelvis, and their integrity is crucial for maintaining normal, voluntary control and sensations. Preserving these nerves reduces the risk of postoperative issues like incontinence, constipation, or sexual dysfunction. Surgeons use specialized methods and detailed anatomy knowledge to avoid damaging these nerves, aiming to ensure patients retain as much normal function as possible after surgery.
