<p>A surgical device and method for applying and/or removing intracranial neurosurgical aneurysms clips, includes a direct clip applier and remover having a distal end (105), and having a proximate end (101) designed to fit directly inside both a neuroendoscope (102) and a stereotactic system, both with guidance from known brain scanning means. The device is effective for use with a multi-approach microneurosurgery device (113). This clipping applier and remover is designed to be used directly in neuroendoscopes and stereotactic systems as an alternative to aneurysm clipping methods which are currently used in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms, among other things. A method of the present invention does not require craniotomy, and is specifically useful for both reachable and currently inaccessible and untreatable areas which are found intra-cranially. An aneurysm can easily be accessed by the device owing to its ability to be positioned and to articulate at various angles (108) based upon control by a user.</p> |
