NMC Royal Hospital, Khalifa City provides specialized Microvascular Decompression (MVD) with a focus on relieving abnormal pressure on cranial nerves and reducing nerve-related pain or involuntary muscle activity. Established in 2017, the JCI accredited hospital is located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and operates 500 beds with advanced neurosurgical and neurovascular facilities.

Microvascular Decompression (MVD) is a microsurgical procedure used to separate a blood vessel that is compressing a cranial nerve. It is commonly performed for conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, and selected cases of glossopharyngeal neuralgia. During surgery, the neurosurgeon identifies the offending vessel and places a small cushioning material between the vessel and nerve to prevent further contact. Detailed imaging and clinical assessment help determine whether nerve compression is responsible for the patient's symptoms.
