How I do it: re-do surgery for recurrent trigeminal neuralgia.
Authors
PMID: 36329317.
Abstract
When trigeminal neuralgia recurs after microvascular decompression surgery, re-operation may be indicated if trigeminal nerve compression remains. However, surgery for recurrent trigeminal neuralgia is more difficult because of adhesions between the prosthesis, such as the Teflon sling, and the surrounding structures, including the blood vessels, in addition to common post-open surgery adhesions.
