Dura Closure Tactics to Prevent CSF Leakage in Microvascular Decompression Surgery [PDF]
Life(1) Background: Achieving a complete and secure dural closure to prevent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is a critical concern in microvascular decompression (MVD). Proper dural closure minimizes complications, such as infections caused by CSF leakage.

Advances in Intraoperative Neurophysiology During Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Hemifacial Spasm. [PDF]
J Clin Neurol, 2022 Microvascular decompression (MVD) is a widely used surgical intervention to relieve the abnormal compression of a facial nerve caused by an artery or vein that results in hemifacial spasm (HFS). Various intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (ION) and mapping methodologies have been used since the 1980s, including brainstem auditory evoked ...

Characteristics and management of the offending veins in microvascular decompression surgery for trigeminal neuralgia. [PDF]
Neurosurg Rev, 2021 AbstractThe optimal technique of microvascular decompression (MVD) for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) caused by venous conflict remains unclear. The objectives of this study are to characterize the offending veins identified during MVD for TN and to evaluate intraoperative technique applied for their management.

5-Hydroxytryptamine and postoperative nausea and vomiting after microvascular decompression surgery
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2023 The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery is high; however, its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Serum 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) levels are elevated in patients with PONV. However, the relationship between 5-HT and patients experiencing PONV after MVD surgery is still unknown ...

Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring during Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Hemifacial Spasm. [PDF]
J Korean Neurosurg Soc, 2019 Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is due to the vascular compression of the facial nerve at its root exit zone (REZ). Microvascular decompression (MVD) of the facial nerve near the REZ is an effective treatment for HFS. In MVD for HFS, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (INM) has two purposes.

Acute Glaucoma Attack Following Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Trigeminal Neuralgia. [PDF]
Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo), 2018 Microvascular decompression (MVD) is widely accepted as an effective surgical method to treat trigeminal neuralgia (TN), but the risks of morbidity and mortality must be considered. We experienced a case of acute angle-closure glaucoma attack following MVD for TN in an elderly patient, considered to be caused by lateral positioning during and after the
