Features: Due to various reasons, the publication of this book was delayed by 4 years. Therefore, from August 1, 1979, to December 31, 1983, an additional 355 cases were added. These newly added cases were included in the book to be compared with previous surgical results, with all surgeons applying microsurgical techniques. Chapter 10 is a supplement to the statistics of this second part of cases. Regardless of whether there were improvements in neurosurgical care or anesthesia methods, the later group of cases showed significant improvements in surgical outcomes solely based on the surgeon's experience in handling ruptured aneurysms. Regarding surgical experience, I personally believe that as the number of initial operations increased from 100 to 200 cases, the experience grew over time, and the results also improved. However, after 200 cases of experience, even skilled techniques could no longer significantly reduce mortality or morbidity rates. At this point, what is more important is that the more experienced the surgeon is, the better the selection of patients and the timing of surgery. Chapters 1-9 of this volume provide a comprehensive analysis of 1,012 aneurysm cases from 1967. Chapter 1 is an overview, chapters 2-5 present surgical outcomes for aneurysms in different locations, chapters 6 and 7 cover giant and multiple aneurysms respectively, chapter 8 discusses non-surgical treatments for aneurysms, and chapter 9 covers surgical complications. Chapter 11 includes translations, reviews, and an overview. This book introduces the clinical manifestations of cerebral aneurysms, surgical methods and techniques for internal carotid aneurysms, surgical techniques and clinical manifestations of middle cerebral artery aneurysms, and more, accompanied by numerous illustrations.
