Background: Microvascular decompression (MVD) using Teflon or Ivalon is the surgeon's preference for treating trigeminal neuralgia (Tn). Still, sometimes the prosthetic material is unavailable, or there is some recurrence of pain during the follow-up. In this case series, we report the outcome analysis for MVD using the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) sleeve technique in classic Tn.

Colorectal anastomosis leaks have an incidence of 5 to 15% and their management depends on the clinical manifestations, the distance to the anal verge and the intra or extra peritoneal location. In some selected cases, endoscopic management has proven to be an effective treatment. In this case report, the vacuum-assisted transanal rectal drainage system described by Weidenhagen et al.

Background: Trigeminal neuralgia features jolts of pain along the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. If patients fail conservative management, microvascular decompression (MVD) is typically the next step in treatment. MVD consists of implanting a separating material, often Teflon, between the nerve and compressive lesions.

Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is characterized by jolts of pain along the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. If patients fail conservative management, microvascular decompression (MVD) is the next step in treatment. MVD is largely done by placing implant pads between the nerve and compressing vessels.
