ABSTRACT
Microvascular decompression is a widely accepted surgical treatment for compressive cranial nerve pathologies such as trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, and other craniofacial pain syndromes. Endoscopy has risen as a safe and effective minimally invasive tool to optimize microvascular decompression. Endoscopy offers improved visualization, minimizes retraction, and allows for smaller surgical openings compared to traditional microscopic approaches. There are several reports of improved neuralgia outcomes and reduced post-operative complications after endoscopic microvascular decompression. In skilled surgical hands, endoscopy is an excellent option for microvascular decompression as stand-alone tool or adjunct to the microscope. An overview of the history, operative considerations, and techniques is provided in this chapter.
