Dr. Duma, Vagus Nerve Microvascular Decompression, Glossopharyngeal Nerve MVD

7-minute video of Dr. Christopher Duma performing a rare vagus nerve microvascular decompression. (Vagal MVD). The offending artery literally splits the vagal nerve causing hoarseness, and pain with swallowing or speaking. The glossopharyngel nerve is relatively spared by the offending artery making this nearly a pure vagal nerve neuralgia. www.cduma.com

@phelanpeter don´t know if knows,beacause he is writing "sticky gauze in there" and it´s TEFLON for cushion betwen artery and nerve,i don´t think the procedure is the same in epilepsy,i think it´s called Vagus stimulation similar for depressed patients,have you done your surgery yet Phelanpeter?

This video is Robert Bell of Australia. He is now suffering :

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus as a result of this surgery.

Robert needs the additional shunt. while in Australia. The nuerosurgeons and nuerologists in Australia are clueless of these nueralgias. Dr. Duma saved his life with this surgery. A ticket from Australia (Robert Bell) to Dr. Duma, please. so his survival rate can continue. I am NOT the only American that believes in Freedom.

MEL to LAX (Robert Bell) set this man Free

Can someone explain to me how the vagal nerve gets split? Is it actually split or just compressed??

dear immeohmyoh, you do not know ABC of what you are watching. So don't comment.

[phelanpeter]

@immeohmyoh are you some kind of medical doctor or something? but I know what your trying to say just by looking at the clip and reading ur piece - my point is im to have this procedure in a few months for refractory epilepsy and after two failed surgeries which has left me half blind and I dont feel so confident now after hearing u and watching that!!!!

[immeohmyoh]

@immeohmyoh ok, i'm not really sure that solved anything. he cuts part of the nerve sheath off, and also kinda cuts part of the nerve. and kinda pushes it over a little, but not really; and sticks some sticky gauze in there; but the artery is still there in the same place, and right next to the nerve like it was to start with. so this person now has half a vagus nerve? will it repair itself?
