We aim to explore the advantages and disadvantages of the Dolenc approach in the treatment of giant C6\u2013C7 segment aneurysms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 13 cases with giant C6 aneurysms and 4 cases with giant C7 aneurysms treated with the Dolenc approach.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>All 17 cases of aneurysms were clipped successfully using the Dolenc approach, of which, 1 case with ipsilateral MCA occlusion underwent extracranial-intracranial artery bypass after the aneurysm clipping. Regarding clinical outcomes, six out of nine cases with preoperative visual impairment improved after surgery, two cases saw no change, and one case deteriorated. Of all the cases, one had new-onset vision loss, four had new-onset oculomotor paralysis, three had surgical side cerebral infarction, and two had diabetes insipidus. DSA or CTA examination within 2 weeks after surgery showed that all aneurysms were completely clipped without residual. After a follow-up of 9\u201312 months, 17 patients were evaluated based on GOS and CTA examination. A total of 14 cases had GOS 5 scores, 2 cases had GOS 4 scores, 1 case had GOS 2 scores, and no cases had death.
