Abstract

Abstract:

Hypertension is a common chronic condition that is usually managed with medical medications. However, in some specific cases, surgical intervention may be required. In recent years, with advances and innovations in medical technology, significant progress has been made in the surgical management of hypertension, providing new treatment options for many patients. The main surgical treatments for hypertension include traditional methods, weight loss metabolic surgery, interdisciplinary treatment, and microvascular decompression. In different situations, surgical interventions for hypertension aim to address the specific cause of the disease, rapidly control the condition, and potentially save the patients' life.

Key words:
