Outcome comparison between interposition and "contactless" transposition microvascular decompression approaches for trigeminal neuralgia
Interposition and transposition techniques for MVD are both effective. The authors' midterm data suggest longer-term TN pain control with sling transposition. Further studies will need to confirm the durability of long-term pain freedom.
