“What is Janet’s operation? In medical terms, it is decompression of the trigeminal nerve: through a small incision behind the ear, the trunk of the nerve and the brain vessels pressing on it are separated, and then a Teflon pad is placed on the nerve. , eliminating the neurovascular conflict. This technique has the lowest percentage of pain recovery in the long term, and the result is immediately noticeable, “explains Karaush.
