Abstrakt: Pudendal nerve decompression surgery has not been studied or reported for the treatment of penile numbness in the absence of pain. Herein, we report a case of a male patient with chronic numbness of the penis and erectile dysfunction in the absence of pelvic pain who was found to have pudendal nerve entrapment. This patient was treated with surgical decompression of the pudendal nerves that resulted in the return of genital sensation and erections. Thus, we propose that pudendal nerve entrapment may be considered as a cause of penile numbness and that pudendal nerve decompression surgery in these patients may be effective.
