A Novel Technical Refinement of Microvascular Decompression: Pain Relief and Complication Rate in a Consecutive Series of Patients With Trigeminal Neuralgia.
Microvascular decompression (MVD) represents a milestone for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Nevertheless, several complications still occur and may negatively affect the outcome. We recently proposed some technical nuances for complication avoidance related to MVD. ⋯ The proposed refinement of the standard MVD technique has proved effective in maintaining excellent results in terms of pain relief while minimizing the overall complication rate associated with this surgical approach.
