Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary facial muscle contractions.
  • Microvascular decompression (MVD) is a standard surgical treatment for HFS, aiming to alleviate neurovascular compression.
  • Advancements in endoscopic technology have enabled the development of fully endoscopic MVD procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of fully endoscopic microvascular decompression (MVD) in treating patients with hemifacial spasm (HFS).

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 5 cases of hemifacial spasm (HFS) treated with fully endoscopic MVD.
  • Surgical outcomes, including symptom relief and postoperative complications, were assessed.

Main Results:

  • All 5 patients experienced complete relief of hemifacial spasm symptoms, achieving a 100% effective rate.
  • Four patients had no postoperative complications; one patient developed aseptic meningitis, which resolved with treatment.
  • Endoscopy was crucial in identifying offending blood vessels, enhancing surgical precision and safety.

Conclusions:

  • Fully endoscopic MVD is a feasible and effective treatment for hemifacial spasm (HFS).
  • The use of endoscopy in MVD offers significant advantages in terms of surgical effect and patient safety.
  • This minimally invasive technique demonstrates considerable potential for managing HFS.
