Radiofrequency thermorhizotomy (TRZ) is an established treatment for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). TRZ can result risky and painful in a consistent subset of patients, due to the need to perform multiple trajectories, before a successful foramen ovale cannulation. Moreover, intraoperative x-rays are required.
TRZ has been performed by using a neuronavigated stylet, before trajectory planning on a dedicated workstation.
Navigated-TRZ (N-TRZ) meets the expectations of a safer and more tolerable procedure due to the use of a single trajectory, avoiding critical structures. Moreover, N-TRZ is x-ray free. Efficacy outcomes are similar to those reported in literature.
射频热凝术（TRZ）是治疗三叉神经痛（TN）的一种成熟方法。由于需要进行多次轨迹操作，才能成功穿刺卵圆孔，因此对于一部分患者来说，TRZ 具有一定的风险和痛苦。此外，还需要在手术过程中进行 X 射线检查。
TRZ 是在专用工作站上进行轨迹规划之前，使用神经导航引导的导针进行的。
由于使用了单次轨迹，避免了对关键结构的损伤，因此导航辅助 TRZ（N-TRZ）符合更安全、更耐受的手术要求。此外，N-TRZ 是无 X 射线的。疗效结果与文献报道的相似。
