Abstract
We report on 4 patients with persistent, severe pelvic pain unresponsive to removal of the bladder, uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes. Of the patients 3 had a diagnosis of interstitial cystitis and 1 had voiding dysfunction. We conclude that severe pelvic pain may not be responsive to the elimination of pelvic organs and alternative organ-preserving therapies should be considered.
