title: Experimental laser destruction of trigeminal sensory root.
abstract: The possibility of local laser destruction of the trigeminal sensory root by a puncture technique is demonstrated. A fibrous scar was formed on a limited area of the trigeminal root. There were no signs of axonal regeneration, posttraumatic neuroma, or considerable changes in the Meckel sinus.
