The author describes a technique providing mechanical rather than manual support to a suction tube for improved control of aneurysm hemorrhage during operation. This results in increased precision, fewer hand movements, reduced reliance upon other operating room personnel, decreased trauma to tissues as a result of multiple manipulations, reduced anxiety for the surgeon, and a shorter operating time.
