Surgical treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia through small incision behind the ear
A total of 3000 cases with primary trigeminal neuralgia were treated in our department from October 2005 to November 2013 by microvascular decompression or partial amputation of the sensory branch of trigeminal nerve. The clinical cure rate reached 98.

How i do it: endoscopic transposition technique for hemifacial spasm caused by AICA compression
Background Anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) compression is a common cause of hemifacial spasm (HFS). Endoscopic-assisted microvascular decompression (eMVD) offers several advantages, including minimal invasiveness, wide viewing angles, and ...
