Can a brain aneurysm patient have laparoscopic surgery?

Yes: It would be very important for your neurologist to discuss the case with the anesthesiologist so that blood pressure is well controlled. Ultimately it depends on how large the aneurysm is. Discuss it further with neurologist and an anesthesiologist.

See below: Most anesthesiologists would prefer to have the aneurysm fixed before the operation. This is because we cannot adequately watch the aneurysm during the operation. If it is stable, and if the blood pressure is kept calm, then this operation should proceed as long as you realize and accept the risk associated with the aneurysm.
