Microvascular decompression (MVD) is a surgical procedure used to treat trigeminal neuralgia, a condition that causes sudden, severe facial pain. In many cases, the trigeminal nerve is irritated or compressed by a nearby blood vessel. Dr. Aneel Kumar P carefully identifies the blood vessel causing pressure and gently separates it from the nerve. A small protective material may be placed between them to prevent further contact while preserving trigeminal nerve function.
- Direct treatment of nerve compression
- Microsurgical precision
- Preservation of nerve function
- Long-term pain relief potential
Pain management services provide personalized care to reduce pain, improve mobility, restore function, and enhance overall quality of life.
Microsurgical techniques help identify and relieve vascular pressure on the trigeminal nerve while protecting surrounding nerves and critical neurological structures. Under the care of Dr. Aneel Kumar P, the procedure is tailored according to the patient’s condition and clinical requirements.
Dr. Aneel Kumar P provides specialized microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia, focused on relieving vascular pressure on the trigeminal nerve and addressing the underlying cause of facial pain. His approach emphasizes microsurgical precision, nerve preservation, careful surgical planning, and long-term pain relief.
Trigeminal neuralgia is a neurological condition causing sudden, severe, shock-like facial pain along the trigeminal nerve.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Postoperative discomfort is managed with appropriate medications and individualized care.
MVD can provide significant long-term pain relief for appropriately selected patients, but results vary and recurrence is possible.
The duration varies depending on the patient's anatomy, surgical complexity, and the location of the compressing blood vessel.
Yes. Alternatives may include medications, radiofrequency procedures, balloon compression, stereotactic radiosurgery, or other treatments depending on individual circumstances.
