During childbirth a bilateral pudendal nerve block may be performed to provide anesthesia to the majority of the perineum and the lower one fourth of the vagina. To do this an anesthetic agent is injected near the pudendal nerve as it passes from the pelvic cavity to the perineum. The physician inserts a finger into the vagina and presses laterally to palpate what landmark?
When performing a transvaginal pudendal nerve block, the ischial spine is palpated through the wall of the vagina and the needle is then passed through the vaginal mucous membrane toward the ischial spine. Eventually, the needle pierces the sacrospinous ligament, at which point the pudendal nerve is bathed with anesthetic. Remember--the pudendal nerve is within the pudendal canal, and it wraps around the ischial spine before it delivers its branches. So, administering the nerve block at the ischial spine allows a physician to anesthetize all the branches of the pudendal nerve. This is a very important landmark that you want to remember!
