How to Improve the Effect of Microvascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm: A Retrospective Study of 32 Cases with Unsuccessful First Time MVD

Journal of Neurological Surgery Part A: Central European Neurosurgery, 2021
Abstract Background Microvascular decompression (MVD) has become accepted as an effective therapeutic option for hemifacial spasm (HFS); however, the curative rate of MVD for HFS varies widely (50–98%) in different medical centers. This study could contribute to the improvement of the MVD procedure.

Percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) of trigeminal ganglion for recurrent trigeminal neuralgia after microvascular decompression (MVD)

Irish Journal of Medical Science (1971 -), 2014
Although microvascular decompression (MVD) has become the best surgical treatment for trigeminal neuralgia, it does not achieve 100% cure rate. Re-exploration of the posterior fossa may carry increased risk over first-time MVD and is not always successful, so other treatments are needed.In this study, we evaluate the effectiveness of the patients with ...

Assessing the safety and learning curve of a neurosurgical trainee in performing a microvascular decompression (MVD)

British Journal of Neurosurgery, 2019
Purpose: MVD is complex procedure when done safely can be effective in managing Trigeminal Neuralgia. Here we assess the safety and learning curve of a surgical trainee in performing a MVD. Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients who have undergone MVD by the trainee (07/2014-07/2017) and by the senior neurosurgeon (03/2011-04/2015). Data such as

The strategy of microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm: how to decide the endpoint of an MVD surgery

Acta Neurochirurgica, 2014
Microvascular decompression (MVD) has become the standard treatment for hemifacial spasm. As not all patients get complete relief, this strategy is still controversial. The study aimed to figure out how to tell the proper endpoint to the surgery.A series of 356 consecutive patients with hemifacial spasm were enrolled in this study.
