Institute of Neurosurgery, University of Milan, Italy.

Results following percutaneous thermorhizotomy for trigeminal neuralgia are described in 111 patients. Recurrences and side effects are more frequent whenever selectivity of the surgical lesion has been imperfect (exceeding the original pain area and causing marked hypoesthesia), and less frequent in the cases with strictly selective lesion.

D013126 Spinal Nerve Roots Paired bundles of NERVE FIBERS entering and leaving the SPINAL CORD at each segment. The dorsal and ventral nerve roots join to form the mixed segmental spinal nerves. The dorsal roots are generally afferent, formed by the central projections of the spinal (dorsal root) ganglia sensory cells, and the ventral roots are efferent, comprising the axons of spinal motor and PREGANGLIONIC AUTONOMIC FIBERS.
