Procedure Steps

Pre-op: 3T MRI with FIESTA/CISS sequences to identify offending vessel

General anesthesia + lateral park-bench position

Retrosigmoid craniotomy (4-5cm incision behind ear)

Microsurgical opening of dura + cisternal CSF drainage

Identification of CN V at brainstem entry

Vascular conflict identified (typically SCA or AICA loop)

Teflon felt interposition between vessel and nerve

Dural closure + cranioplasty + scalp closure

What is MVD?

Microvascular decompression treats trigeminal neuralgia by physically separating an offending blood vessel from the trigeminal nerve at its brainstem entry zone using a small Teflon pad. It is the only treatment that addresses the underlying cause and can produce permanent cure.

Why China?

High volume: Xinhua and Tiantan Hospitals perform 500+ MVDs/year
Cost: $11,000-$17,000 vs. $40,000-$80,000 in the US
Endoscopic-assisted: Latest technique improves visualization of offending vessels
Functional preservation: Hearing/facial nerve monitoring during surgery

Who is a candidate?

Classic trigeminal neuralgia with vascular conflict on MRI
Failed medical therapy or intolerable side effects
Age <65 generally preferred (but no upper limit if healthy)
Hemifacial spasm (CN VII compression)

Outcomes

Immediate pain relief: 90-95%. Long-term cure (10 years): 70-80%. Recurrence rate: 1-3% per year. Major complications: hearing loss 1-2%, CSF leak 2-4%.
