Review of Avoidance of Complications in Cerebral Aneurysm Surgery: The Fujita Experience

Avoidance of complications during cerebral aneurysm surgery marks the future outcome in the patient. Various modalities such as adequate opening of the Sylvian fissure, motor-evoked potential, endoscope-assisted microsurgery, indocyanine green dye, and dual image video angiography are available to reduce these complications during surgery, either by prevention of injury to the small perforators or the parent artery. We present our experience at the Fujita Health University Banbuntane Hospital, Japan, of the cerebral aneurysm surgery along with the use of these modalities in our patients from September 2014 to December 2016 along with a brief review of the various techniques for avoidance of complications.
