Abstract

Simultaneous monitoring with the microscope and endoscope is extremely useful in applying clips to ICA aneurysms. This combined method allows for direct dissection of the aneurysm, perforating vessels, and the main trunk in an area not visible through the microscope's eyepiece and promises better surgical results.
