Microvascular Decompression is performed to take the pressure off the trigeminal nerve. During this procedure, Dr. Akash Singh makes a small opening behind the ear and gently moves the blood vessel pressing on the nerve. A soft cushion is placed between them to prevent contact. This method stops the pain without damaging the nerve, preserving normal facial sensation.
The surgery is done under general anesthesia and usually requires only a few days in the hospital. Most patients experience immediate and long-term pain relief. Since the nerve is not destroyed, MVD is often preferred for people who want a permanent solution and wish to avoid numbness.
Dr. Akash Singh carefully evaluates each patient through neurological assessments and brain imaging (MRI) to confirm the diagnosis and determine if MVD is the right choice. His experience in neurosurgery ensures the highest safety and precision.
