Overview

Prospective study compares patient outcomes after superciliary and trans-scalp surgical approaches, suggesting improved experiences with superciliary.

Key Points

  • To compare postoperative patient experiences following the superciliary and trans-scalp approaches for unruptured intracranial aneurysms.
  • 111 patients undergoing superciliary or trans-scalp lateral supraorbital approaches were assessed.
  • Utilized a six-item Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for symptom assessment postoperatively for 5 days.
  • Neurological examinations were performed alongside VAS assessments.
  • The superciliary group reported less wound-related pain (3.34 vs. 4.70, p=0.003) and headache (3.54 vs. 5.16, p=0.001) on POD 5.
  • Significantly fewer patients in the superciliary group experienced mood depression (16.4% vs. 34.0%, p<0.05).
  • The trans-scalp approach emerged as a strong predictor for increased postoperative symptoms.
