Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Microscope limitations in visualizing vascular compression of the trigeminal nerve, especially with anatomical variations.
  • The need for improved visualization techniques to identify the offending vessel accurately.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic vascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia.
  • To compare the visualization capabilities of endoscopy versus microscopy in identifying neurovascular conflicts.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 178 patients undergoing endoscopic vascular decompression.
  • Follow-up duration ranging from 12 to 108 months (average 58 months).

Main Results:

  • Successful identification of offending vessels in 174 patients (97.7%).
  • Significant pain relief achieved in 167 patients (93.8%).
  • Low rates of temporary complications (e.g., dysesthesias, CSF leak) and permanent sequelae.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic vascular decompression is a safe and effective treatment for trigeminal neuralgia.
  • Endoscopy provides enhanced visualization of the trigeminal nerve and vascular structures without brain retraction.
  • The technique facilitates accurate detection of the complete surgical decompression.
