[Tissue therapy of trigeminal neuralgia with the implantation of preserved nerve].
Cadaveric trigeminal and sciatic nerves or Gasser's ganglion were transplanted subcutaneously below the scapular angle twice a week to 71 patients with trigeminal neuralgia. The procedure is simple. The operation has been fairly effective: 42.3% of patients have been cured (a follow-up of more than 5 years), in 32.4% a marked effect has been achieved persisting for 3-4 years, the condition of 22.5% of patients has improved for 16-18 months, and in only 2.8% of cases the alleviation lasted but 3 months.
