Migraine Surgery Unravelled
In this video Dr. Aniketh Venkataram, noted cosmetic plastic surgeon, at The Venkat Center, Bengaluru, explains the nuances of migraine surgery. He starts by stating that there were plastic surgeries in the past that had the potential to release a person from the grip of a migraine headache, which has the potential to ‘rob’ a day from person’s life with headache and even nausea. Migraines are caused when nerves are constricted by blood vessels, connective tissue, muscles or bones. So when a surgeon releases this nerve from the constriction, a person undergoing the surgery, in this case a migraine surgery, feels the relief, and the person experiences relief from migraine headaches.
There are trigger nerves that are located in the front of the face right near the eyebrows, at the back of the head and at the side of the head. The surgical procedure employs small incisions made at the points of the trigger nerves to relieve the pressure on these nerves, which are the cause of migraine headaches.
Dr. Aniketh admits that even he has migraine headaches and he has a few suggestions for people who may be suitable for surgery for relief from migraines. He starts with maintaining a log of the pattern of the migraine headaches. This will determine whether a person is the right candidate for the surgery. He also speaks about how some people feel complete relief from the surgery, a few other people do not feel so much of a relief, and a small percentage feel no relief, and these are people who are not perfect candidates for migraine surgery.
We can also view the testimonials of patients who have had migraine surgery from The Venkat Center. They are speaking of the relief they found and they are quite grateful to Dr. Aniketh for helping them gain relief form their migraine headaches, some even feeling relief after several years, and, to get back to driving for many hours, without a headache, or even one person speaking of reducing medication from a daily basis to once a fortnight.
Dr. Aniketh concludes by emphasizing on the point that The Venkat Center has the distinction of performing a few of the first migraine surgeries in India, and that more and more people can take up this surgery to help them combat this common problem. He also encourages viewers to get in touch with The Venkat Center for guidance on migraine surgery, so that they can benefit from maintaining logs of their migraine headaches helping in making an informed decision on whether migraine surgery is a plausible option for relief against migraine headaches.
