Are there any sequelae of microvascular decompression in patients with trigeminal neuralgia

    During my treatment of trigeminal neuralgia patients, I found many cases in which many trigeminal neuralgia patients took large amounts of carbamazepine tablets for long-term relief and were not willing to use surgical treatment, which led to the increasing severity of trigeminal neuralgia disease and more and more trigeminal neuralgia patients. Liu Bei, Department of Neurosurgery, Tangdu Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University Trigeminal neuralgia disease, which currently has a high incidence in China, has become a common and common disease. It has a great impact on patients’ daily life and study, and now the survey found that this disease is not only the “patent” of middle-aged and old people. There is a trend toward younger people, and this development has led us to panic.    Therefore, trigeminal neuralgia disease suppression has become an urgent task to be completed. Why do so many patients reject surgical treatment? After our survey, many people do not want to take the risk of surgical treatment, and on the other hand do not want surgical procedures to harm their appearance. All people have a love of beauty, and the onset of trigeminal neuralgia is usually on the left side of the face, if the surgery is performed on the face. For many people, it is no less than “disfiguring”, which is why this treatment is rejected by everyone.    The surgical population According to the statistics of all patients who have undergone microvascular decompression surgery. More than 90% of them are older than 50 years old, and very few people between the ages of 40 and 50 undergo this surgical treatment.    So what is this surgical treatment actually like?    1, first of all, we should make it clear that microvascular decompression surgery is not terrible, what is terrible is the heart that does not face it correctly; 2, microvascular decompression surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, completed in the patient while, by making an external surgical incision in the patient’s head. Then the trigeminal nerve and blood vessels of the patient through microscopic technology, so as to achieve a complete treatment effect; 3, the risk of microvascular decompression surgery is similar to the risk of doing appendicitis surgery, so the problem of surgical risk that some people are worried about does not exist; 4, after the patient’s surgery, as long as the hair grows up, the surgical minimally invasive incision is basically invisible.    In fact, so much is said, just so that we can clearly understand trigeminal neuralgia, and know the microvascular decompression surgery, with trigeminal neuralgia timely use of surgical methods to completely cure, there is no worry, life and work can be carried out smoothly.
