Title: [Endoscopic surgery for hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage].
Abstract: To evaluate the use of endoscopic surgery for hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.Sixteen patients with hyertensive intracerebral hematoma were evacuated with neuroendoscope. The surgical invasive markers, volume of remaining hematoma, and prognosis were compared with those of 19 comparable patients undergoing conventional craniotomy.Complete evacuation of hematoma was achieved in 9 patients, and partial evacuation in 7. All patients were followed up for 6 months. According to GOS, the result was excellent in 6 patients, good in 6, fare in 2, poor and dead in one respectively. The volume of remaining hematoa and invasive markers significantly decreased (P < 0.05); No difference was found in prognosis between the two groups (P > 0.05).Neuroendoscopic surgery for hypertensive intracerebral hematoma is characterized by mini-invasion, time-saving, and direct-vision, and is a new approach in this field.
