Clinical study on the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia by robot-assisted percutaneous balloon compression.

ABSTRACT:

Background

C-arm-guided percutaneous puncture balloon compression alone has risk factors of puncture failure, complications, and poor prognosis. Robot-assisted PBC can effectively increase the one-time puncture success rate and improve the safety of the procedure. However, evidence on the superiority of robot-assisted PBC over C-arm-guided PBC alone remains relatively limited.

Methods

Retrospective analysis The clinical data of 60 patients with trigeminal neuralgia aged 60 years or older in the Department of Neurosurgery of the Fourth Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2021 to October 2021. There were 29 males and 31 females, and the patients' ages ranged from 60 to 79 years, with an average of 71.63 ± 5.12 years. Two groups were divided according to the surg
