Definitive Relief for Trigeminal Neuralgia & Facial Pain
State-of-the-art Microvascular Decompression to stop excruciating facial shocks and spasms. Dr. Arun Saroha provides a permanent cure for patients in Coimbatore.
Trigeminal Neuralgia is often described as the most excruciating pain known to humanity—a sudden, electric-shock-like sensation in the face triggered by simple acts like washing, eating, or even a breeze. For residents of Coimbatore, this condition is usually caused by a normal blood vessel pressing against the trigeminal nerve at the base of the brain. Dr. Arun Saroha specializes in Microvascular Decompression (MVD), a "Gold Standard" surgical procedure that addresses the root cause of the pain rather than just masking symptoms.
By performing a precise "keyhole" surgery behind the ear, Dr. Saroha identifies the offending vessel and gently moves it away from the nerve, placing a tiny medical-grade Teflon cushion in between. This immediately stops the abnormal electrical firing and provides permanent relief for the vast majority of our Coimbatore patients, allowing them to lead a life free from heavy medications and fear.
We provide curative solutions for several neuro-vascular compression syndromes:
MVD is a highly delicate procedure performed near the brainstem. Dr. Saroha leverages the most advanced surgical theatre technology in Coimbatore to ensure 100% safety:
Using high-magnification microscopes to visualize deep cranial nerves with millimetre precision.
Real-time hearing and nerve signal monitoring to protect vital functions for Coimbatore patients.
Utilizing inert Teflon felt that provides a permanent, biocompatible barrier against the offending artery.
Most patients in Coimbatore wake up from MVD surgery and realize the facial pain is gone immediately. The "relief" is often described as miraculous. Unlike other procedures (like Gamma Knife or Rhizotomy) which involve damaging the nerve to stop pain, MVD preserves the nerve's health and sensation. This means there is no "numbness" or "loss of feeling" in the face following the surgery.
Hospital recovery is typically 3-4 days. Because the incision is hidden behind the hairline in Coimbatore, there is minimal visible scarring. Dr. Saroha's precise approach ensures a fast return to a normal diet and life. If you or a loved one in Coimbatore are suffering from "the suicide disease," know that a definitive, surgical cure exists and is accessible today.

MVD has an initial success rate of over 90% for Trigeminal Neuralgia. Most patients in Coimbatore experience complete, long-term relief from pain following the procedure.
No. Unlike radiofrequency rhizotomy or Gamma Knife, MVD does not damage the nerve; it simply removes the pressure. Facial sensation remains normal for Coimbatore residents post-op.
Technically yes, though we do not cut into the brain tissue itself. We work in the "spaces" around the brain to reach the nerves at the brainstem for our Coimbatore patients.
Yes. Many of our patients in Coimbatore are in their 70s or 80s. As long as overall health is stable, MVD is a safe and effective option for elderly patients suffering from facial pain.
Most patients in Coimbatore can gradually taper off their pain medications within a few weeks of surgery and eventually live completely medicine-free.
Nerve-vessel contact is sometimes too small to see on standard MRI scans. Dr. Saroha uses specialized sequences (FIESTA/CISS) in Coimbatore to identify compression that others might miss.
Typical hospital stay is 3 days. Most patients in Coimbatore can return to normal light activities within 2 weeks and full physical activity in 4-6 weeks.
Yes. Providing relief for patients from Coimbatore who had unsatisfactory results elsewhere or whose pain has returned is a core part of our high-complexity neurosurgical service.
