Arizona Center for Pelvic Pain
AZCCPP was originally established in 2005 by Dr. Michael Hibner at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix. Over the years it became one of the most renowned centers for treatment of severe endometriosis, pudendal neuralgia and pain caused by pelvic mesh. Other frequently seen conditions were adhesions, ovarian remnant syndrome, pelvic congestion syndrome and spastic pelvic floor syndrome. Many new surgical techniques were pioneered at AZCCPP including significantly modified transgluteal pudendal neurolysis (decompression of the pudendal nerve), selective pelvic vein ligation for pelvic congestion syndrome, removal of mesh from the groin and pudendal nerve. Since 2005 AZCCPP has been helping patients from all around the world for chronic pelvic pain with many of them previously been seen by other physicians prior to travelling to Phoenix

OUR TEAM
Our Lead Surgeon
Dr. Michael Hibner is a native of Poland. He was born in Warsaw but spent big part of his childhood in Nigeria where his parents relocated for work. He then returned to Poland to attend Medical University of Warsaw, the same medical school that his mother, his aunt, two of his uncles and his cousin attended. In 1994 Dr. Hibner moved to United States and began residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Cook County Hospital in Chicago. While in residency he also studied a non-linear dynamics of fetal heart tones for which he later on he received PhD degree in bioengineering from his alma mater.
Pudendal neuralgia is a relatively unknown cause of severe pelvic pain.
In my practice, I define it as a pain located in the area of innervation of the pudendal nerve. Pudendal nerve entrapment is an impingement of the pudendal nerve caused by scar tissue, surgical materials, or mesh. Pudendal nerve entrapment is, therefore, one of the causes of pudendal neuralgia, however other causes such as inflammation, spasm of the surrounding muscles, or other nerve diseases may also be a reason for pain.
