Traumatologia XXI 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 0, the accredited hospital is located in Bilbao, Spain and operates 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.
