[Microvascular Decompression:The Superiority of Transposition].

In this feature article, we underscore the advantages of Transposition over Interposition in the management of trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm. Interposition, while effective, has raised concerns owing to long-term complications associated with the use of artificial materials, such as Teflon and silicone sponges. Transposition, on the other hand, mitigates these issues, showcasing adaptability to a range of anatomical and pathological conditions and affirming its standing as a safer and more effective treatment alternative. Each technique has distinct applications that are governed by the patient's specific anatomical and pathological needs. While Transposition is emerging as a favored option, Interposition remains relevant in specific cases, underscoring the necessity for a personalized approach to neurovascular decompression. In offering a comprehensive overview, this article is not just an academic exercise, but also a practical resource. A nuanced exploration of these surgical interventions is meant to provide readers with actionable insights, blending the current findings with real-world applicability. The goal is to foster a deeper understanding and aid practitioners in making informed decisions that are finely attuned to each patient's unique needs and conditions, ensuring optimal outcomes, while prioritizing safety and effectiveness.
