Before working with Dr. Sekula, this patient's facial pain was so severe that he could not put a toothbrush in his mouth and medication did not provide relief. Dr. Sekula discusses using microvascular decompression surgery with a hospital stay of mere hours for this man to be completely pain-free four days later and off all medications.
