Greater availability and improvement of neuroradiological techniques have resulted in more frequent detection of unruptured aneurysms. Because prognosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage is still poor, preventive surgery is increasingly considered as a therapeutic option. Elective surgery requires reliable data on its risks. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis on the mortality and morbidity of surgery for unruptured intracranial aneurysms.
