[Clinical application study of intraoral high-level mandibular neurotomy: Reported of 19 cases]

Trigeminal neuralgia is a common disease in clinical practice. The recurrence rate after avulsion is relatively high. In order to reduce the recurrence rate, the author developed a new method and operated on 19 cases with intraoral high level trigeminal neurotomy based on 21 cases of adult human skull anatomy. The method is simple, safe and in good condition. The author emphasized that the proper management of the buccal branch during operation may have a close relation with the post-operative recurrence rate.
