Two surgical microvascular decompression techniques to treat primary hemifacial spasm (HFS) are described in literature. The "interposition" uses different materials as "spacers" while the "transposition" consists in suturing the offending vessel to the petrous bone dura mater. In the literature is described a transposition surgery adopting self-adhesive materials reporting promising results.
We describe a combination of these two techniques using autologous muscle and Tachosil. The step-by-step surgical principles are described in the article and clarified in a video.
This procedure is effective to cure the HFS especially in case of large arteries when interposition only is insufficient.
文献中描述了两种用于治疗原发性面肌痉挛(HFS)的外科微血管减压技术。“插入法”使用不同材料作为“间隔物”,而“转位法”则是将肇事血管缝合至岩骨硬脑膜。文献中描述了一种采用自粘材料的转位手术,报告显示效果良好。
我们描述了一种结合这两种技术的方法,使用自体肌肉和速即纱。本文详细介绍了逐步的手术原则,并在一段视频中进行了阐释。
该手术方法对于治愈面肌痉挛有效,尤其是在大动脉情况下,仅采用插入法不足以解决问题时。
