Dear Editor,
We greatly appreciate the comment by Dr. Wallner [1] on the new insight into the positioning of the pudendal and levator ani nerves in relation to the complaint of buttock pain after sacrospinous hysteropexy [2]. The anatomical work that has currently been done in this important surgical region is of value not only to all surgeons performing sacrospinous ligament fixation, but also to those working with needle placement for synthetic implants in the posterior compartment.
