Abstract
This video will summarize the current literature and guidelines regarding presacral neurectomy (PSN), proper patient selection and surgical approach. We will identify the anatomy in the presacral space, relevant pelvic neuroanatomy and surgical pearls for performing PSN. The viewer will be able to apply key points from this video to clinical practice, allowing for optimization of PSN outcomes.
