Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Hemifacial Spasm

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2016
This study aims to investigate the operative efficacy, surgical complication rate, and surgical strategy of microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS).Clinical data of 46 patients with HFS who underwent MVD were retrospectively analyzed.During surgery, it was found that the facial nerve root exit zone was compressed by the following ...

Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Trigeminal Neuralgia

Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 2001
Long-term follow-up data were analyzed to evaluate the surgical results of microvascular decompression (MVD). Among 1,324 patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TGN), who underwent MVD between 1976 and 2000, a consecutive 281 patients were followed and studied for 5–20 years as of the year of 1997. When the data were analyzed and compared in two groups (A:

Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia

2015
Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is characterized by paroxysmal attacks of severe pain involving the sensory distributions of the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves. A rare manifestation is hemodynamic disturbance or syncope related to excessive vagal outflow.

Microsurgical Anatomy for Microvascular Decompression Surgery

2015
Microvascular decompression surgery is an operation in which knowledge of normal anatomy is especially important because there are often no mass lesions in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). There are three neurovascular complexes in the CPA, as described in the “rule of 3” (Hitotsumatsu et al. Neurosurgery 53:1436–1441, 2003).

Bilateral Low-Frequency Hearing Impairment After Microvascular Decompression Surgery

Neurosurgery, 2023
BACKGROUND: Hearing impairment is an important complication of microvascular decompression (MVD). In patients after MVD, we have occasionally noted slight to moderate hearing deterioration at low frequencies that is difficult to detect using pure tone average.

Management of Recurrent Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia Following Microvascular Decompression Surgery

World Neurosurgery, 2018
Glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) is a rare condition, commonly misdiagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia. Microvascular decompression (MVD) is considered the first line of treatment in medically refractive idiopathic GPN, and the recurrence rate is reported to be 7.1%.

The use of the endoscope in microvascular decompression surgery

Operative Techniques in Neurosurgery, 2001
In the 1980s and 1990s, several authors suggested an endoscopic approach to the cerebellopotine angle, but it is only more recently that the technical and operative conditions for successful endoscopy could be met. The retrosigmoid approach provides simple and direct access to the cerebellopontine zone.

Technical Difficulties of Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Hemifacial Spasm

2020
Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is referred as a truly surgical disorder that microvascular decompression (MVD) plays a major role in treatment. Medication and botulinum toxin are frequently used in outpatient clinics without long-lasting efficacy. Although we do not fully understand the pathophysiology of HFS, there may be unrevealed explanations for the ...

Value-based neurosurgery: the example of microvascular decompression surgery.

Journal of neurosurgery, 2014
Value of care is emerging as a promising framework to restructure health care, emphasizing the importance of reporting multiple outcomes that encompass the entire care episode instead of isolated outcomes specific to care points during a patient's care.

The History of Microvascular Decompression Surgery

2015
Neurosurgery is a very different surgical specialty from the days when this investigator was a research fellow and resident in the years 1957 through 1967. Technological advances have enabled most of these changes from an almost brutal surgical specialty with many poor results to a field wherein a normally sensitive human being can work happily and ...
