Microvascular decompression surgery for hemifacial spasm
Objective To investigate operative efficacy, surgical complication rate and surgical strategy of microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS). Methods The clinical data of 46 patients with HFS were retrospectively analysed.

Fully endoscopic microvascular decompression is increasingly being used to treat hemifacial spasm; however, its efficacy must be validated by comparing it with conventional microscopic microvascular decompression.

Results of Microvascular Decompression Surgery in the Treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia
INTRODUCTION: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) develops as a result of the trigger of one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve by stimuli. Most cases of TN are usually caused by compression of the trigeminal nerve root, within a few millimeters from its exit from the pons.

Advances in Intraoperative Neurophysiology During Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Hemifacial Spasm. [PDF]
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]
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.
