Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Microvascular decompression (MVD) is a primary treatment for trigeminal neuralgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, and hemifacial spasm.
  • Traditional MVD using microscopes has limitations in visualization and light source.
  • Endoscopic technology has enhanced visualization and illumination in MVD procedures.

Observation:

  • This study evaluated fully endoscopic MVD for trigeminal neuralgia treatment.
  • Three patients with trigeminal neuralgia underwent the procedure.
  • Postoperative assessment included pain relief and complication monitoring.

Findings:

  • All three patients experienced significant relief from facial pain after surgery.
  • No significant postoperative complications were observed.
  • Follow-up at six months showed no recurrence of symptoms.

Implications:

  • Fully endoscopic MVD is a safe and effective treatment for trigeminal neuralgia.
  • Endoscopic visualization offers distinct advantages in MVD surgery.
  • This technique represents a promising advancement in neurosurgical treatment for facial pain.
