Abstract
In this paper, we describe our experience in treating migraine headache localized in the occipital area. Using our minimally-invasive approach, from June 2011 till January 2022, we have performed MH decompression surgery over 232 patients with occipital migraine trigger site. After a mean follow-up of 20 months (range, 3-62 months), patients complaining for occipital MH had 94% positive surgical outcome (86% complete MH elimination). Only rare minor complications were reported (e.g., oedema, paresthesia, ecchymosis, and numbness). Presented, in part, at the XXIV Annual Meeting European Society of Surgery (Genoa, Italy, May 28-29, 2022), at the Celtic Meeting of the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS), (Dunblane, Scotland, September 8-9, 2022), at the Fourteenth Quadrennial European Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Conference, (Porto, Portugal, October 5-7, 2022), at the 91st Annual Meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgery, (Boston, USA, October 27-30, 2022), and at the 76 BAPRAS (British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery) Scientific Meeting, (London, UK, November 30 - December 2, 2022).
