- Alternative Title
- Coccygectomy for Treatment of Coccygodynia
- Abstract
- Purpose
Coccygodynia is a painful condition localized in the region of the coccyx. Most cases of coccygodynia are treated conservatively. However, we conducted an analysis of patients who underwent coccygectomy, with chronic intractable coccygodynia and assessed the results of their treatment.
Materials and Methods
From March 2003 to August 2013, this study was conducted in order to investigate the benefit of coccygectomy in cases where conservative treatment has failed. We compared preoperative and postoperative visual analog scales (VAS) scores and confirmed duration of symptom free, complications.
Results
The average duration of symptom free was 3.4 months, and VAS score improved from 7.3 to 1.6. There was one wound infection.
Conclusion
We can obtain satisfactory results through coccygectomy for chronic intractable coccygodynia.
