AbstractThe superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery bypass is an elegant procedure that was developed and first performed by M. Gazi Yaşargil. It has been used by neurosurgeons for more than 30 years in the management of neurovascular disorders such as cerebrovascular ischemic disease, moyamoya disease, and complex intracranial aneurysms. Mastering the technique requires not only precise and fine skills but also devoted training in the microsurgery laboratory. The technique presented in this article evolved from the long and vast experience of the senior author (DWN) in performing superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery bypasses for a variety of cerebrovascular conditions.
