New kinds of microneuroprotectors for microsurgery and endoscopy of cerebellopontine angle neurovascular decompression.
New microsurgical devices for neurovascular decompression--microneuroprotectors (MNP)--are described. Four constructive kinds of MNP have been developed according to topographic peculiarities of pathological neurovascular contacts. The hydrodynamic and biological testing of MNP has been concluded. The methods of microsurgical and endoscopic techniques of MNP insertion on the cranial nerves or posterior fossa vessels are reported.
