Analysis of clinical effect of different approaches for clipping anterior circulation aneurysms / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the treatment effect of surgically clipping anterior circulation aneurysms by lateral supraorbital approach and supraorbital keyhole approach for guiding the selection of surgical approach for anterior circulation aneurysms.Methods The clinical data of 80 patients diagnosed as anterior circulation aneurysms due to spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage from January 2011 to January 2016 were retrospectively analyzed,including the operation time,craniotomy time,cranial closure time,estimated intraoperative blood loss,HCT change before and after surgery,early ambulation time,postoperative hospitalization days,GCS scores at admission and discharge,GOS scores at discharge were compared between the two groups and the literatures were reviewed.Results The operation time and craniotomy time of the lateral supraorbital approach were less than those of the supraorbital keyhole approach,and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P＜0.05);the cranial closure time,estimated intraoperative blood loss,HCT change before and after surgery,early ambulation time,postoperative hospitalization days,GCS scores at admission and discharge and GOS scores at discharge had no statistical differences between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion The lateral supraorbital approach has the advantages of shorter operation time and craniotomy time,providing a better surgical field during operation,less intraoperative traction and less postoperative complications,and can serve as an alternative scheme for the supraorbital keyhole approach in clipping anterior circulation aneurysms.
