摘要

Background

 Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is most often caused by arterial compression of the facial nerve (CNVII). Microvascular decompression (MVD) of CNVII has excellent outcomes, achieving spasm freedom in approximately 90% of patients, and can be accomplished by inter positional or transpositional techniques.

Method

We present a step-by-step description of an experienced surgeon’s technique for MVD in HFS using vessel transposition with TachoSil®, supported by an illustrative video.

Conclusion

In our experience, transposition using TachoSil® during MVD for HFS, in appropriately selected patients, is a safe and effective approach offering potential advantages over traditional materials and techniques.
