Abstract

In the context of organic pelvic pain, alongside post-infectious pain or pain related to endometriosis, ruptured ligaments of the pelvic fascia are an important cause of the pelvic congestion syndrome well known to classical authors. Surgical treatment combines two procedures: suture of the tear and exclusion of the pouch of Douglas.
