Introduction: Patients with hemifacial spasm (HFS) experience improvement in symptoms after microvascular decompression (MVD); however, patient satisfaction is sometimes low. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between residual spasms and patient satisfaction, identify factors affecting satisfaction, and investigate the degree of improvement in spasms which result in patient satisfaction after surgery. Methods: 297 patients who completed a questionnaire after MVD for HFS between March 2020 and June 2020 were included. Information on surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction was collected using the questionnaire, and their relationships were analyzed. Results: Among the 297 patients, the mean residual spasm percentage and patient satisfaction score were negatively correlated with 14.0% and 8.8 points, respectively. In addition to residual spasms, discomfort caused by persistent spasms, psychological problem-solving, better social life, and interpersonal relationship improvement were associated with satisfaction. There was no significant association between the presence of complications and satisfaction. There was no significant difference in the satisfaction score at up to 30% residual spasm, and the patients with 0–30% residual spasm had a satisfaction score of 7 points or higher. Conclusion: Residual spasms and discomfort from residual spasms decreased patient satisfaction after MVD for HFS. It is then necessary to perform accurate surgical resolution to improve surgical outcomes and provide adequate management to reduce postoperative discomfort and anxiety, and ultimately to enhance satisfaction. Residual spasms of up to 30% compared with the preoperative severity can be considered a good outcome when evaluating surgical outcomes.
