Transposition of Vessels for Microvascular Decompression of Posterior Fossa Cranial Nerves: Review of Literature and Intraoperative Decision-Making Scheme

We conducted a literature review to illustrate the variations in the surgical techniques used for transposition and to provide a practical decision-making scheme for transposition of the involved vessel.
