Microsurgical Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms

Objective To evaluate the time and skill of surgical treatment for intracranial aneurysms. Method Data of 71 aneurysms (64 patients) operated under the operating microscope were analysed retrospectively. Results Eight aneurysms were excised after clipping them, 1 fusiform aneurysm was wrapped and the others were clipped. There were 13 aneurysms ruptured during the operation. The satisfactory results were obtained in 94.7% (36/38) of the cases with Hunt grade 0-Ⅱaneurysms and no patient died, while 88.19% (52/59) had good results and 3.4% (2/59) died in the patients with Hunt grad 0-Ⅲ aneurysms. Conclusion Skillful microneurosurgery is an effective and safe therapeutic option in treatment of the intracranial aneurysms, but appropriate opportunity of the operation should be selected.
