The talk was given by Mr Jonathan Poots, Consultant Neurological Surgeon, the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast. Mr Poots pointed out that multiple specialties, not only surgeons, are involved in the management of these conditions. “The character of the pain may change with the use of neuropathic pain medications and have more of a constant character,” Mr Poots said. Mr Poots described MVD as a “satisfying operation”, with a number of positive aspects. “MVD offers the only chance for a non-destructive procedure and a more durable result,” according to Mr Poots.
