Does moyamoya disease need surgery?
Generally speaking, the treatment of moyamoya disease can be divided into conservative treatment and surgical treatment.

The conservative treatment of moyamoya disease in internal medicine is mainly medication, but through repeated argumentation of long-term medical papers and clinical research, medication is basically ineffective for moyamoya disease, which has been widely recognized in the medical field.

Therefore, to really cure moyamoya disease, only through surgery. At present, the effect of single application and single bypass is not ideal. Therefore, Jin Yongjian, a medical doctor studying in Japan, used combined vascular bypass surgery to treat moyamoya disease.

At present, there are direct vascular bypass, indirect vascular bypass and combined vascular bypass for moyamoya disease. Indirect bypass refers to attaching tissue rich in blood vessels to the surface of the brain in order to allow blood vessels to grow to the surface of the brain on their own. Because the growth ability of adults is relatively poor, the indirect bypass effect is poor. Direct bypass refers to the direct connection of blood vessels with blood vessels on the surface of the brain, and the effect is obvious. At present, it is considered that the combination of direct bypass and indirect bypass is the best surgical method for adult moyamoya disease
