Background Giant intracranial aneurysms (GIAs) require complex treatment strategies including clipping, coiling, stenting, parent artery occlusion, bypass, or combined procedures. Neurovascular hybrid operating rooms (h-OR) combine a conventional operating theatre with high-resolution digital subtraction angiography (DSA). We describe a one-step combined surgical and endovascular treatment in a h-OR for a paediatric internal carotid artery giant aneurysm that can be an optimal solution to manage challenging cases, such as giant aneurysms.

Article Synopsis
  • Neurosurgery requires not only technical skills but also non-technical skills (NTSs) to achieve mastery, highlighting the importance of both in surgical practice.
  • An international survey of 372 neurosurgeons indicates that qualities like attention to detail, humility, and self-awareness are vital for surgical precision and effective teamwork.
  • The study advocates for integrated training that includes simulations and mentorship to enhance NTSs, while also stressing the need for research aimed at improving educational methods, especially in regions with unequal access to neurosurgical care.
