  • Trigeminal Microvascular Decompression Surgery by Prof Coakham Bristol UK A micro surgery video recording of a Trigeminal Nerve Microvascular Decompression Surgery performed on a 52 year old caucasian male on the 16th November 2010 at The Spire hospital, Bristol - UK by the amazing and outstanding Prof. Coakham and his extraordinary staff, assistants and colleagues. The patient was suffering for over 6 years from right sided trigeminal neuralgia (electric shock type face pain triggered by chewing, any face moves or touching of the skin) which affected mainly the right side temple. Long term sufferers experience weight loss, loss of motivation, depression on top of having to cope with side effects caused by medication usually subscribed for epelepsie such as Tegretol. This patient made a steady recovery after surgery with initially the face pains continuing for approx. 8-10 more weeks after the surgery. After this, within a matter of days, the face pains became less and less and eventually dissappeared completely. The patient is 100% pain free since and feels that this operation has transformed and has given him a new life. If you have been diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia and each day of your life has become a misery, go and see Prof. Coakham at The Spire Hospital, Bristol - UK...you will never look back thereafter.

  • Heart bypass: microvascular surgery Operating microscope and microvascular anastomosis (when life depends on millimeter) Aortocoronary saphenous vein graft disease presents an important and unresolved dilemma in coronary surgery practice By 10 years after surgery only 50% of vein grafts are patent and only 50% of patent vein grafts are free of significant stenosis. Recent studies in USA in 107 different center's of cardiac surgery, on the series of 1920 patients, 45% per patient have vein graft failure, occurring 12 to 18 months after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. It is diffuse common opinion that cause of the occlusion of coronary bypass grafts is thrombosis and progressive illness of the vein grafts. I think that the first cause of coronary bypass occlusion is a new coronary stenosis due to the same operating technique employed. This new coronary stenosis is responsible for thrombosis and for saphenous vein graft failure. This is quite remarkable considering that the conventional anastomotic techniques of today are little changed from the time of Alexis Carrel in the early 1900s. Over the last several decades there have been significant advances in suture materials technology but little change in anastomotic technique and the evolution of this procedure continues toward a less invasive approach. Traditional operative technique is standard for all sizes of coronaries. This technique is excellent when coronary diameter is superior to 2.5 mm but it is inadequate when coronary diameter is inferior to ...

  • Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Trigeminal Neuralgia Many cases of trigeminal neuralgia are caused by compression of trigeminal nerve by an adjacent artery. In microvascular decompression surgery, the artery and the trigeminal nerve are dissected free of each other and a teflon cushion is placed between the two to shield the nerve from the pulsations of the artery. The trigeminal pain often resolves immediately after the operation.

  • Directed assembly of three-dimensional microvascular networks Three-dimensional (3-D) microvascular networks with pervasive, interconnected channels less than 300 microns in diameter may find widespread application in microfluidic devices, biotechnology, sensors, and autonomic healing materials. Although microchannel arrays are readily constructed in two-dimensions by photolithographic or soft lithographic techniques, their construction in three-dimensions remains a challenging problem. The development of a microfabrication method to build 3-D microvascular networks based on direct-write assembly is described is this thesis. The method is based on the robotic deposition of a fugitive organic ink to form a free-standing scaffold structure. Secondary infiltration of a structural resin followed by setting of the matrix and removal of the scaffold yields an embedded pervasive network of smooth cylindrical channels (~ 10500 microns) with defined connectivity.

  • Trigeminal Neuralgia Microvascular Decompression Visit /blog for more videos and photos. Trigeminal neuralgia is a painful condition in which the nerve that supplies sensation to the face (trigeminal nerve) misfires. As a result, the patient experiences frequent episodes of sharp, stabbing, electrical pain in the face. The pain episodes can be provoked by chewing, talking, or touching the face. Sometimes even air blowing on the face can provoke an attack. The condition can be extremely debilitating. In most cases, trigeminal neuralgia can be treated with medications. Sometimes patients can not tolerate the medications because of side effects. In other cases, the response to medications diminishes with time. In these case, patients undergo surgery to treat trigeminal neuralgia. One such operation is microvascular decompression of trigeminal nerve, featured here. Through a quarter-sized hole in the skull behind the ear, the trigeminal nerve is exposed at the depths of the brain. Often an artery is found pulsating against the nerve. The nerve and the artery are separated and a teflon cushion is placed between them.

  • Corrective Surgery: Microvascular Decompression Microvascular decompression actually treats the vessel causing the cranial nerve disorder, it potentially provides a long-term solution to the problem.
  • Microvascular Decompression Trigeminal Neuralgia (tic douloureux, TN) is a neuropathic disorder of one or both of the trigeminal nerves (5th cranial nerves). This condition may cause one of the most severe pains that a human being can experience, and may be difficult to control with medications. TN usually develops after the age of 50 and is more common in females. The condition is caused by a vessel (artery or vein) compressing the trigeminal nerve adjacent to the site of its entry into the brainstem. The pain may involve the ear, eye, lip, nose, scalp, forehead, teeth or jaw. The pain is usually described as "stabbing" or "electric-shock" like, and may be brought on or worsened by cold wind, chewing, talking or even touching the face. Treatment with medications is the first line of defense for patients with trigeminal neuralgia. When medications do not provide adequate control of pain or produce unacceptable side-effects, the possibility of surgical treatment should be considered. For healthy patients, microvascular decompression (ie direct decompression of the trigeminal nerve via a craniotomy) is usually the treatment of choice, since it provides the highest probability of long-term relief of pain. For patients who are not healthy enough to undergo a craniotomy or who prefer a less invasive procedure, stereotactic radiosurgery represents a very good treatment alternative, providing long-term pain relief in about two out of three patients.
