Retrospective comparative study shows superior outcomes with shredded Teflon in trigeminal neuralgia, indicating better recovery chances.
MVD using shredded Teflon yields superior long-term outcomes with fewer complications and recurrences compared to pledget interposition. Avoiding direct nerve contact and minimizing implant volume may reduce inflammatory risks. Postoperative MRI is crucial for detecting recurrence and guiding subsequent interventions.
