Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Trigeminal Neuralgia
Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 2001Long-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:

Bilateral Low-Frequency Hearing Impairment After Microvascular Decompression Surgery
Neurosurgery, 2023BACKGROUND: 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.

Technical Difficulties of Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Hemifacial Spasm
2020Hemifacial 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 ...

The use of the endoscope in microvascular decompression surgery
Operative Techniques in Neurosurgery, 2001In 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.

Microsurgical Anatomy for Microvascular Decompression Surgery
2015Microvascular 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).

Management of Recurrent Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia Following Microvascular Decompression Surgery
World Neurosurgery, 2018Glossopharyngeal 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%.

A clinical analysis on microvascular decompression surgery in a series of 3000 cases
Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2012Despite the microvascular decompression (MVD) has become a definitive treatment for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and hemifacial spasm (HFS), not all of the patients have been cured completely so far and this sort of operation is still with risk because of the critical operative area.

The History of Microvascular Decompression Surgery
2015Neurosurgery 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 ...
