Brief Summary
This is a feasibility study characterizing the ability of transvaginal ultrasonography to identify the pudendal nerve. Today, the pudendal nerve block is typically accomplished through blind landmark techniques, thus limiting its success. To date, there has never been an attempt to determine if the visualization of the pudendal nerve would be possible using transvaginal ultrasound with existing technology; nor to perform this procedure transvaginally with the assistance of ultrasound.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Scheduled to undergo transvaginal ultrasound at the Fetal Care Center (FCC) or Gynecology clinic * Patients undergoing pelvic floor surgery at either the Main OR or outpatient surgery center at UVA will be included. This includes surgeries performed by surgeons in the Department of OBGYN, Division of Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, and includes surgeries for repair of prolapse, urinary incontinence, fistula, urethral diverticulum, or other pelvic floor issues. * \>18 years age * English-speaking Exclusion Criteria: • Refusal to participate
