Abstract:
Microvascular decompression was performed in 10 hemifacial spasm patients using Gore-tex vascular grafts as a prosthesis. Postoperative complication (transient deafness) occurred only in one patient, and recurrence in none during follow-up of 1-51 months, indicating that Gore-tex is a very effective prosthesis.
