[Neurosurgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia].
Sweet's method for thermocoagulation of the Gasserian ganglion is a real advance in the operative treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. The advantages of this method are obvious: minimum operation risk, minimum complication rate, short postoperative convalescence, shorter confinement to hospital and finally the possibility of repeating the operation without risk in the event of a relapse.
