To perform this procedure, an incision is made in the buttock on either or both sides, according to the Foundation Surgical Hospital website. The excision extends through the gluteal muscles. A section of the ST ligament is removed and the SS ligament is divided releasing any compression at the ischial spine. The pudendal canal is explored and an incision is made to release the nerve from any binding fascia.
Dr. Ansell is one of the first surgeons in the country to perform the procedure, according to the Fox TV report.
