Neurosurgical clipping is a procedure conducted under general anaesthesia, ensuring that the patient remains unconscious throughout the surgical process.
Initially, an incision is made either on the scalp or just above the eyebrow. This allows the surgeon to remove a small section of bone, granting access to the brain.
Once the aneurysm is located, the neurosurgeon utilizes a minute metal clip to securely seal it shut. This clip remains in place permanently, effectively clamping the aneurysm. Following the replacement of the bone section, the scalp is sutured together.
As time progresses, the lining of the blood vessel heals along the clip’s placement, creating a permanent seal that prevents the aneurysm from growing or rupturing in the future.
In rare instances, there may be a need to clip the artery from which the aneurysm originated rather than directly clipping the aneurysm itself. This typically occurs when the aneurysm is notably large or intricate.
In such cases, this procedure is often accompanied by a bypass operation. This involves redirecting the blood flow around the clamped area using a blood vessel taken from another part of the body, commonly sourced from the leg.
