At Sunway Medical Centre, Microvascular Decompression (MVD) is performed using advanced microsurgical techniques and individualized neurological treatment planning. Established in 1999, the ACHS accredited hospital in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia has 724 beds and provides comprehensive neurosurgical and neurological care.

Microvascular Decompression (MVD) may be considered for patients with persistent symptoms caused by vascular compression of a cranial nerve, particularly when medication does not provide adequate relief or causes unacceptable side effects. Through a small opening in the skull, the surgeon carefully exposes the affected nerve and moves the compressing blood vessel away from it. A soft protective material is generally placed between the vessel and nerve to maintain separation. Postoperative monitoring helps assess symptom improvement and neurological function.
