Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the established surgical standard for cranial nerve compression disorders.
  • Key conditions include trigeminal neuralgia (TN), hemifacial spasm (HFS), and glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review historical developments, recent advancements, and evolving techniques in MVD.
  • Focus on MVD for TN, HFS, and GPN.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review (1970-2024) across major scientific databases.
  • Analysis of studies on MVD surgical techniques, clinical outcomes, and technological innovations.
  • Selection of articles specifically addressing TN, HFS, GPN, and other cranial nerve disorders treated with MVD.

Main Results:

  • MVD shows high efficacy (80-90% immediate relief), with favorable long-term outcomes despite 15-25% recurrence.
  • Endoscopic MVD and advanced visualization (3D exoscopy, AI) show promise for safety and outcomes.
  • Persistent complications include hearing loss (1-2%) and CSF leakage (2-4%).

Conclusions:

  • MVD is advancing with technology, enhancing outcomes and reducing complications.
  • Robotic-assisted MVD and gene therapies are emerging innovations.
  • Further research is needed for protocol standardization and global healthcare equity.
