Objective To evaluate the usefulness of Doppler micro-probe and rigid endoscope in aneurysm surgery. Methods From April 2005 to July 2006,Doppler micro-probe and rigid endoscope were applied to 96 patients with aneurysm.The number of aneurysm was 107.The diameter of the Doppler probe was 1.5 mm,with a frequency of 20 MHz.Endoscopes with 0,30 and 70 degree were used.Doppler and endoscope were employed before and/or after aneurysm clipping. Results In all the 107 aneurysms,there were 39 in which the endoscope provided information unavailable under the microscope.The clip was adjusted after endoscope and/or Doppler examination in 19 aneurysms,10 of which were due to incomplete clipping,while the other 9 compromise of small perforators. ConclusionDoppler and endoscope are useful in aneurysm surgery,and can be applied both before and/or after clipping.
