Background: The use of microsurgery for aneurysm clipping has decreased considerably in recent years. This study was conducted to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of surgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms even in less-developed countries.
Methods: This study was a retrospective review of the medical records of 320 patients with 416 aneurysms treated with microsurgical clipping at a single neurosurgical center in Brazil between 2008 and 2016.
Purpose: To develop a new experimental model of lower cost for training in videosurgery.
Methods: This project was performed at the Nucleus of Experimental Surgery of the Bahiana School of Medicine and Public Health, based on previous models described in the literature and under the supervision of the full professor of Operative Technique and Experimental Surgery II. It was made a model cube-shaped, made of wood, with holes distributed in various locations, rubber stoppers for the holes and lined externally with carpet, and internally with laminate.
