Object The authors adopted the infrafloccular approach for microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery to treat hemifacial spasm (HFS). The inferior portion of the flocculus is retracted to observe the root exit zone of cranial nerve (CN) VII between CN IX and the flocculus.

Surgical Technique of Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Trigeminal Neuralgia
2015As an etiological treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, the microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery has been popularized around the world for more than half a century. However, as a functional operation in the cerebellopontine angle, this process should be refined to enhance the cure rate and minimize the complication.

Value-based neurosurgery: measuring and reducing the cost of microvascular decompression surgery
Journal of Neurosurgery, 2014Object Care providers have put significant effort into optimizing patient safety and quality of care. Value, defined as meaningful outcomes achieved per dollar spent, is emerging as a promising framework to redesign health care. Scarce data exist regarding cost measurement and containment for episodes of neurosurgical care.

Microvascular decompression has been now accepted worldwide as a reasonable treatment for trigeminal neuralgia, yet, as a functional operation in the cerebellopontine angle, this process may be risky and the postoperative outcomes might not be good enough sometimes.

Neurophysiologie Clinique/Clinical Neurophysiology, 2015
We report the case of an 84-year-old woman with neurovascular conflict of the left cochleovestibular nerve. Prior to surgery, the patient complained of positional vertigo and dizziness for the past two years, and marked instability. Hearing loss and tinnitus were reported on the left side.

What should be done, what should not be done in microvascular decompression surgery
International Congress Series, 2004Abstract The purpose of microvascular decompression surgery (MVD) was to obtain a perfect and permanent cure for hyperactive dysfunction of cranial nerves without causing complications and recurrences. From the experiences of long-term follow-up of a large series of patients with MVD for trigeminal neuralgia (TGN), hemifacial spasm (HFS) and ...

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.

Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Disabling Positional Vertigo and Tinnitus
2015Disabling positional vertigo (DPV) and some forms of tinnitus can be treated successfully with microvascular decompression (MVD) of the root of the auditory-vestibular nerve. These two diseases have many different forms and the operation is more complex than MVD for trigeminal neuralgia or hemifacial spasm.

Use of fenestrated aneurysm clips in microvascular decompression surgery
Journal of Neurosurgery, 2007✓The standard techniques of microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery in which implant materials such as shredded Teflon felt are used may be inadequate in some complex cases. The authors evaluated the use of fenestrated aneurysm clips to maintain transposition of culprit vessels in patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and hemifacial spasm (HFS ...
