To evaluate the precision and safety of a novel technique of free-hand frameless pinless AXIEM™-based navigation guided biopsy of deep-seated brain lesions in a low-middle income country. ⋯ AXIEM™-based Medtronic-Stealth S7 is a quick, reliable, real-time and secure neuronavigation system for taking a free-hand, frameless and pinless biopsy of deep-seated lesions in the brain.
-
To evaluate the surgical outcomes of delayed microsurgical clipping for ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RICAs) of anterior circulation. ⋯ Delayed clipping in RICAs after the 21st post-bleed day is advocated, especially in resource-constrained settings. Meticulous surgical technique and asepsis are responsible for great postoperative outcomes.
