Pudendal plexus (nerves)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The pudendal plexus is a term used for a compound structure consisting of sacral spinal nerves.

Some sources describe it as S2-S4 of the lumbosacral plexus.[1]

In some older texts, it is a rough approximation of the coccygeal plexus.[2]
