Trephine approach to anterior midline aneurysms—an initial communication

Abstract

The outcome of two groups of patients with midline aneurysms exposed by two different approaches was compared. The initial results support a clinical impression that a trephine approach has the following advantages: (1) adequate exposure with the best possible anatomical orientation and (2) a reduced morbidity

Key Words:

• Trephine disc
• anterior midline aneurysms
