It is appropriate to code the postoperative diagnosis as it is the most definitive diagnosis for ambulatory surgery. TRUE Chronic diseases that are treated on an ongoing basis should be coded and reported as often as the patient receives treatment and care for the chronic diseases.

The surgical options for trigeminal neuralgia include peripheral nerve blocks or ablation, gasserian ganglion and retrogasserian ablative (needle) procedures, craniotomy followed by microvascular decompression (MVD), and stereotactic radiosurgery (Gamma Knife®).

Trigeminal neuralgia surgery is not a brain surgery as it does not affect the brain. Microvascular decompression surgery involves making an opening in the skull and the membrane (dura) covering the brain, to access the trigeminal nerve. The brain itself is untouched during the surgery.

MVD requires the use of general anesthesia. In addition, because it is also brain surgery, those with other medical conditions or who are in generally poor health may not be candidates.
Microvascular decompression (MVD) is a surgery to relieve abnormal compression of a cranial nerve causing trigeminal neuralgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, or hemifacial spasm. MVD involves opening the skull (craniotomy) and inserting a sponge between the nerve and offending artery triggering the pain signals.
Microvascular decompression is considered major surgery, as it involves creating an opening within your head and exposing your brain. In cases without complications, you may be under anesthesia for 1-3 hours. If you have multiple areas of impingement or the impingement is hard to reach, the procedure may last longer.

The trigeminal nerve is the largest and most complex of the 12 cranial nerves (CNs). It supplies sensations to the face, mucous membranes, and other structures of the head. It is the motor nerve for the muscles of mastication and contains proprioceptive fibers.
