Abstract: Objective: To study the ideal patient's head positioning for the anterior circulation aneurysms microsurgery. Method: We divided the study in two parts. Firstly, 10 fresh cadaveric heads were positioned and dissected in order to ideally expose the anterior circulation aneurysm sites. Afterwards, 110 patients were submitted to anterior circulation aneurysms microsurgery. During the surgery, the patient's head was positioned accordingly to the aneurysm location and the results from the cadaveric study. The effec… Show more

“…The interfacial dissection of the temporalis muscle, as originally described by Yasargil, is specifically intended to preserve the front temporal branch of the facial nerve and reduce postoperative cosmetic changes resulting from the surgical wound 8,16 . We had four patients (8,1%) who evolved with temporary (about two months) frontal branch facial nerve palsy.…”

“…The initial step to any successful surgical operation is exposure optimized by proper positioning. This is a neurosurgical tenet that can heavily bias the success and ease of an operation 1,2 . It is often assumed that this tenet is less applicable to the neurointerventional suite because, using biplane fluoroscopy, most working projections or angles can easily be obtained.…”
