Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Object. Although a pre-temporal approach (PA) can provide a wide space for preservation of thalamoperforating atrteries in direct surgery for basilar bifurcation aneurysms (BBAs), it cannot always secure adequate proximal control. The authors described the advantages of plical resection added to PA for BBAs. Methods. Between October 1998 and April 2000, eight consecutive patients with BBAs were treated in the neurosurgical department of Kurashiki Central Hospital. Among them, five patients received direct clipping using this method. There were four females and one male, ages ranging from 61 to 77 (mean 70.8 years). Mean aneurysmal size and distance between the in terclinoidal line and the aneurysmal neck was 4.5 and 9.5 mm, respectively. The operative procedures consisted of the following components; 1) fronto-temporal craniotomy with translocation of orbito-zygomatico-malar bone for PA, 2) preservation of lateral branches of the superficial sylvian veins, 3) resection of plica dural folds to increase the operative field up to the oculomotor nerve (OMN). Results. Complete clipping was achieved without thalamic infarction or temporal contusion in all patients. Three of the five patients suffered from transient right OMN palsy which recovered within two months after surgery. Conclusion. Plical resection in the pre-temporal approach might be beneficial in the surgical treatment of BBAs when proximal control seems difficult. © 2008 Springer-Verlag.
