Safety and efficacy of purely endoscopic microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia: systematic review and single arm meta-analysis.

Microscopic microvascular decompression(M-MVD) is considered the gold standard treatment for primary trigeminal neuralgia and presents excellent long-term pain control rates. Despite the effectiveness of M-MVD, the use of endoscopy in these procedures has proven to be a promising approach.
