Özet
Background. The literature contains many varying, often conflicting surgical results. However, there is no study comparing long-term effectiveness of all surgical procedures for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The aim of the present analysis is to report the long-term outcomes of surgical options of TN since the development of electronic databases, to evaluate them with the same clinical and statistical criteria and determine the most appropriate treatment.
