Migraine Surgery
Migraine headache is estimated to occur in 15 percent of people and is much more common in women than men.
Migraine types vary from one person to another, with different symptoms and numerous triggers. Migraines can be controlled by drugs that stopping migraine assignments or preventing them from starting.
Migraine Surgery
Migraine surgery acts on the principle of reducing the compression or compression of the muscles in the nerves. Reducing the pressure on the nerves may prevent the onset of migraine attacks, or at least weaken the trigger, leading to the less frequent occurrence of migraines and it causes a lighter migraine.
Although these trigger points can be determined by botox injections in the first place, they can often be determined by patient’s complaints too. When the patient receives a positive response to Botox treatment (migraine relief), these trigger points are treated surgically by small incisions stored by the temporal and occipital hairline. To relieve the trigger point, the part of the muscles tightening is removed partially or completely. In some cases, the ends of the nerves are removed if the nerve is sufficiently small and the loss will not cause any damage (temporal zone). In any case, these surgical maneuvers prevent the recurrence of the migraine.

Migraine Surgery in General
Frontal migraine surgery is performed through small incisions hidden in the scalp. Through these incisions, the corrugator muscle is reached with the help of the camera system (endoscopic approach). In some cases, the nerve can be accessed from the bottom and, if desired, combined with aesthetic eyelid surgery or aesthetic forehead stretching. Migraine is treated on both sides to avoid asymmetry in the forehead movement, even if it is unilateral.
Temporal migraine surgery is performed with an upper eyelid incision made to reach the zygomatic-temporal nerve while passing through the temporalis muscle at the side of the eye or pit the endoscopic forehead stretching approach. In some cases, an incision can also be made in the anterior region of the ear to loosen the auriculotemporal nerve.
Occipital migraine surgery is performed on the back of the scalp with a 4 cm cut in the lower hairline. Semispinalis capitis muscle is removed from the large occipital nerve. Surgery may be performed on one or both sides depending on the patient’s symptoms and the results of the Botox test. Nasal migraines are treated by septoplasty procedure. The deviation part of the septum is removed from the place where the inferior turbinate touches the bone in the nose.

Migraine Surgery Success Rates
Migraine surgery may provide exceptional relief in some cases, but it may not always provide permanent relief.
Recent studies have shown that one-third of the patients achieved complete recovery. But in 90% of cases, there is a significant decrease in the number, severity, and duration of migraine attacks.
