Fully endoscopic microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia: technique review and early outcomes
He-Van Dong MD, PhD
-Objective: Evaluate the results of treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) with full endoscopic microvascular decompression
-Methods: Prospective study based on 100 patients with TN. Research criteria include clinical symptoms, medical treatment, vascular compression was observed at surgery, complications, results. The 5-point BNI pain score was used to quantify patients’ pain relief.
-Results: During January 2020 - June 2024, 100 patients with TN (62 women and 38 men), average age 58. Before surgery, 85 patients had BNI score V and 15 had BNI IV score. Left side pain in 65 and right side pain in 43 patients. Vascular conflict were observed during surgery in 100 patients. Vascular compression were artery in 80 cases (SCA 70, AICA 9, Branch 1), vein in 16, arteriy and vein in 4. Complications: infection in 1 case, temporary facial numbness in 5, temporary facial paralisy in 4 and temporary hearing loss in 4 and dizziness, nausea, vomiting in 10 others cases. No mortality, no infection and no CSF leakage. Average follow-up time is 15 months. Pain relief immediately after surgery in 100 patients. Postoperative follow-up: BNI I in 95 cases, BNI II in 3 and BNI III in 2. Pain recurred in 4 patients.
-Conclusion: Treatment of V nerve pain with endoscopic surgery is safe and effective.
