Tóm tắt

Technical procedures of selective controlled thermocoagulation of the trigeminal preganglionic rootlets and gasserian ganglion are discussed. The possibility of physiologic stimulation and intraoperative patient monitoring for the performance of graded lesion-making is presented. Experiences in 426 patients with trigeminal neuralgia (293 patients were taken for statistical analysis) is demonstrated. A survey of complications compared with other surgical treatments is presented.
