pudendal nerve study
Long-time listener, first-time caller :)
I have a group of colorectal surgeons around me, and I’ve been getting referrals to evaluate patients for possible pudendal nerve disorders. Common issues include pelvic floor dysfunction, fecal incontinence, and constipation. They’ve specifically ask about pudendal nerve terminal motor latency (PNTML) testing. Needless to say, this was not part of my fellowship training :)
I’d like to help as much as I can, especially since there really isn’t anyone or academic place nearby who performs this testing. Do you have any good resources you’d recommend for learning the technique, interpretation, and appropriate clinical use of PNTML?

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
