Overview

Treatment of pelvic pain is a complex phenomenon and depends on the clinical experience. It requires individual approach including detailed analysis of possible etiologies. However this approach is not fea­sible in normal urological practice. Better chance for treatment success offer specialized centers focu­sing on the chronic pain syndrome (CPP). Recently used mini-invasive techniques show relatively good outcomes especially in patients refractory on traditional treatment. Mini-invasive techniques combined with traditional treatment focused on the most probable etiologies represent some hope in the CPP treatment modalities.
