DOI: 10.1007/s00701-020-04659-1
Abstract: A repair strategy for venous bleeding from the superior petrosal vein (SPV) is essential during endoscopic microvascular decompression. Sliced oxycellulose seats are rounded off, making balls around 10 mm in diameter. When venous bleeding arises… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Endoscopic-microvascular decompression (E-MVD) is a well described treatment for trigeminal neuralgia (TGN), but there has been debate of the safety of intraoperative sacrifice of the petrosal vein (PV) due to concern for subsequent venous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1227/ons.0000000000000333
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) may require sacrifice of the superior petrosal vein (SPV), with potential risks of ischemia and hemorrhagic complications due to impaired venous return. OBJECTIVE: To investigate methods for safely… read more here.

DOI: 10.3171/2022.5.jns22143
Abstract: OBJECTIVE In microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery through the retrosigmoid approach, the surgeon may have to sacrifice the superior petrosal vein (SPV). However, this is a controversial maneuver. To date, high-level evidence comparing the operative outcomes… read more here.
