Endoscopic Microvascular Decompression with Transposition for Trigeminal Neuralgia and Hemifacial Spasm: Technical Note

摘要

BackgroundEndoscopic microvascular decompression (MVD) offers reliable identification of neurovascular conflicts under superb illumination, and it provides minimally invasive surgery for trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm. Transposition techniques have been reported as a decompression method to prevent adhesion and granuloma formation around decompression sites, providing better surgical outcomes. The feasibility and effects of transposition under endoscopic MVD were evaluated.
