85% of patients remained pain-free at a mean follow-up of 5 years, with successful outcomes after microvascular decompression treatment.
Immediate postoperative pain relief was achieved in 92% of patients, demonstrating the short-term effectiveness of the procedure.
Retrospective analysis involved 45 patients who underwent microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia between 2017 and 2019.
Long-term results support microvascular decompression's role as an effective treatment for trigeminal neuralgia, with some experiencing recurrence.
