Simple Transposition Technique for Microvascular Decompression Using an Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene “Belt”: Technical Note
Microvascular decompression (MVD) is a standard surgical procedure for treating vascular compression syndromes. There are two basic ways to perform MVD: interposition using a prosthesis and transposition. With the transposition technique, adhesions and granuloma around the decompression site are avoided, but the required operation is more complex than that for the interposition method. We descr...
متن کاملTechnique of microvascular decompression. Technical note.
Vascular compression of the trigeminal nerve in the cerebellopontine angle is now generally accepted as the primary source or "trigger" causing trigeminal neuralgia. A clear clinicopathological association exists in the neurovascular relationship. In general, pain in the third division of the trigeminal nerve is caused by rostral compression, pain in the second division is caused by medial or m...
متن کاملNew technique for decompressive duraplasty using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene dura substitute--technical note.
A new technique for decompressive craniectomy with duraplasty was developed for cases in which brain swelling was present at dural closure. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane is placed under the dura, covering the brain surface, without the use of sutures. The dura is then loosely sutured. The procedure was used in 13 patients. No leakage of cerebrospinal fluid into the epidural ...
متن کاملIn-situ Cranioplasty after Microvascular Decompression: A Technical Note.
Cranioplasty is not only performed for cosmetic reasons but also for physiological requirements to balance the cerebral hemodynamics and to protect the brain from external traumas. Methyl methacrylate is one of the most preferred materials for cranioplasty. It is usually prepared out of the surgical site and therefore modelling of the cranioplasty material to fit the bone defect is sometimes di...
متن کاملApplication of Ion-beam Implanted Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene to Microvascular Decompression and the Surgical Outcome
Accurate and long-term transposition of offending vessels is required in microvascular decompression (MVD) for the treatment of hemifacial spasm (HFS) and trigeminal neuralgia (TN). We created ion-beam implanted of an expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene (i-ePTFE) surface to transpose offending vessels in MVD. In 13 patients with MVD, we concealed and transposed offending vessels with tape-shaped i...
