In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of perineal pain control via injection of a local anesthetic to numb the pudendal nerve. The medication which is commonly used for this block is called marcaine. This is called a pudendal block it has been used in obstetrical and gynecologic surgeries for several decades.

Subjects undergoing pelvic reconstructive surgery will be recruited during the pre-op visit.
