A Nod for Meckel: A Novel Surgical Position Utilizing Meckel's Cave Anatomy for Percutaneous Glycerol Rhizotomy in Trigeminal Neuralgia
Conclusions Utilizing this new method of intraoperative navigation with a unique surgical table in the upright position, surgeons may achieve precise head adjustments post-PGR. Head flexion has been postulated as a means of ensuring glycerol containment in Meckel's cave. This method can help standardize this procedure for future systematic studies on the importance of head positioning post-PGR.
