“…[ 19 , 20 , 25 , 39 ] To overcome such limitations, endoscope-assisted microscopic surgery was introduced to properly identify the site of the neurovascular compression and reduce the risk of complications. [ 1 , 4 , 15 , 24 , 28 , 30 , 34 , 39 ] Endoscope-assisted MVD of the facial nerve demonstrated an additional 72 % accuracy rate in identifying the nerve-vessel conflicts without dislocation of the acoustic-facial bundle and significant cerebellar retraction, resulting in a lower risk of neurological deficits.
