At VPS Lakeshore Hospital, Microvascular Decompression (MVD) is performed using advanced microsurgical techniques and individualized neurological treatment planning. Established in 2003, the NABH, ISO accredited hospital in Kochi, India has 350 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.
