Abstract
Introduction Neuroendoscopy is widely applied for treating hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Aim To explore the effects of heron-mouth neuroendoscopic sheath-assisted neuroendoscopy on treatment of hypertensive intraventricular hemorrhage. Material and methods A type of heron-mouth neuroendoscopic sheath combining the advantages of minimally invasive columnar endoscopic sheath and open operation methods was designed. The end of sheath catheter could be dilated if necessary, without increasing risk of cortex injury. Heron-mouth neuroendoscopic sheath-assisted neuroendoscopy was applied in treatment of hypertensive intraventricular hemorrhage. A total of 19 patients with hypertensive intraventricular hemorrhage were selected and divided into an external ventricular drainage + urokinase group and a neuroendoscopy group. Hematoma clearance rate, surgical time, ventricular drainage time, intracranial infection, hydrocephalus and Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) at 3 months after the operation were compared between two groups. Results Hematoma clearance rate, ventricular drainage time, mortality rate and GOS at 3 months after surgery in the neuroendoscopy group were significantly better compared to those in the external ventricular drainage + urokinase group (p < 0.05). Postoperative complications, including intracranial infection hydrocephalus and pulmonary infection in the neuroendoscopy group, were less numerous compared to those in the external ventricular drainage + urokinase group, but without statistical significance (p > 0.05). However, surgical time was significantly longer in the neuroendoscopy group compared to that in the external ventricular drainage + urokinase group (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in incidence rate of hydrocephalus between the two groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions Clinical effects of heron-mouth neuroendoscopic sheath-assisted neuroendoscopy were better than those of external ventricular drainage combining urokinase dissolution in treating hypertensive intraventricular hemorrhage.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Management of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains controversial despite efforts to produce high level evidence in the past few years. We systematically examined the pooled literature data on the natural history and surgical management of ICH. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A systematic review was performed using the PubMed and Embase databases, encompassing English, full-text articles, reporting treatment outcomes for the conservative and surgical management of ICH. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS A total of 91 studies met the eligibility criteria (total of 16,411 ICH cases). The most common locations for an ICH were the basal ganglia for both the conservative (68.7%) and surgical cohorts (58.4%). Patients in the non-operative group (40.5%) were older (mean age 62.9 years; range 12.0-94.0), had a higher Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score at presentation (mean GCS 10.2; range 3-15) and lower ICH volume (mean 36.9 mL). When managed non-operatively, a favorable functional outcome was encountered in 25.7% (95% CI 16.9-34.5) of patients, with a 22.2% (95% CI 16.6-27.8) mortality rate. Patients who underwent surgery (59.5%) were younger (mean age 58.8 years; range 12.0-94.0), had a lower GCS at presentation (mean GCS 8.2; range 3-15) and larger ICH volume (mean 58.3 mL; range 8.2-140.0). Craniotomy with hematoma evacuation was the preferred surgical technique (38.6%). A favorable functional outcome was encountered in 29.8% (95% CI 23.8-35.8) of operated patients, with a 21.3% (95% CI 16.3-26.3) mortality rate. CONCLUSIONS For many ICH cases, the reviewed literature allows to define surgical and conservative candidates. However, there are still some ICH-cases where management remains controversial.

Abstract
Background and Purpose: Although outcome in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients is generally not improved by surgical intervention, the use of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has shown promising results. However, vitamin K antagonist (VKA)-related ICH patients are underrepresented in surgical treatment trials. We therefore assessed the safety and efficacy of a bedside MIS approach including local application of urokinase in VKA-related ICH. Methods: Patients with a VKA-related ICH > 20 ml who received bedside hematoma evacuation treatment (n = 21) at the University Medical Center Freiburg were retrospectively included for analysis and compared to a historical control group (n = 35) selected from an institutional database (University Medical Center Erlangen) according to identical inclusion criteria. Propensity score matching was performed to obtain comparable cohorts. The evolution of hematoma and peri-hemorrhagic edema (PHE) volumes, midline shift, and the occurrence of adverse events were analyzed. Furthermore, we assessed the modified Rankin Scale and NIHSS scores recorded at discharge. Results: Propensity score matching resulted in 16 patients per group with well-balanced characteristics. Median ICH volume at admission was 45.7 (IQR: 24.2-56.7) ml in the control group and 48.4 (IQR: 28.7-59.6) ml in the treatment group (p = 0.327). ICH volume at day 7 was less pronounced in the treatment group [MIS: 23.2 ml (IQR: 15.8-32.3) vs. control: 43.2 ml (IQR: 27.5-52.4); p = 0.013], as was the increase in midline shift up to day 7 [MIS: -3.75 mM (IQR: -4.25 to -2) vs. control: 1 mM (IQR: 0-2); p < 0.001]. No group differences were observed in PHE volume on day 7 [MIS: 42.4 ml (IQR: 25.0-72.3) vs. control: 31.0 ml (IQR: 18.8-53.8); p = 0.274] or mRS at discharge [MIS: 5 (IQR: 4-5) and 5 (IQR: 4-5); p = 0.949]. No hematoma expansion was observed. The catheter had to be replaced in 1 patient (6%). Conclusions: Bedside catheter-based hematoma evacuation followed by local thrombolysis with urokinase appears to be feasible and safe in cases of large VKA-related ICH. Further studies that assess the functional outcome associated with this technique are warranted. Clinical Trial Registration: DRKS00007908 (German Clinical Trial Register; www.drks.de).

Abstract
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) is a common stroke subtype, accounting for 10-35% of all stroke. It is the most disabling subtype as well, with disproportionately high rates of morbidity and mortality. Despite numerous advances in neurocritical care and stroke management, the prognosis remains poor, and no medical or surgical interventions have been shown to significantly reduce mortality or improve outcomes. Surgical evacuation of SICH has many theoretical benefits, such as reducing secondary injury, reducing intracranial pressures, and preventing cerebral herniation. However, trials involving open craniotomy for SICH evacuation have not yielded significant clinical benefit, and one thought is that benefit is not seen due to injury to the overlying healthy brain tissue. Therefore, minimally invasive options have increasingly been studied as an option to evacuate the SICH while minimizing injury to healthy tissue. We present here a select review of various minimally-invasive techniques for the evacuation of SICH.

Assessment of Evidence Regarding Minimally Invasive Surgery vs. Conservative Treatment on Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Trial Sequential Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Abstract
Introduction: The recent publication of a trial failed to prove the efficacy of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. The aim of this study was to answer the question: Do we need more trials to compare MIS vs. conservative treatment in these patients? Methods: Databases were searched for relevant randomized trials on MIS (endoscopic surgery or stereotactic evacuation) vs. conservative treatment. The primary outcome was significant neurological debilitation or death at the follow-up, and the secondary outcome was death. Both conventional meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis (TSA) were performed. Results: Twelve trials with 2,049 patients were included. In the conventional meta-analysis, the risk ratios of MIS vs. conservative treatment were 0.82 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.72–0.94] and 0.74 (95% CI, 0.62–0.88) for the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. In TSA, the cumulative z curve crossed the superiority boundary, which confirmed an 18.8% relative risk reduction of MIS vs. conservative treatment for the primary outcome. It was also highly likely that MIS would reduce mortality by 24.3%. Several sensitivity analyses suggested the robustness of our results, including different prior settings, including only trials with blind outcome assessment, and the assumption of future trials to be futile. Conclusions: Minimally invasive surgery seems to be more effective than conservative treatment in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage in reducing both morbidity and mortality. Repeating a clinical trial with similar devices, design, and outcomes is unlikely to change the current evidence.

Abstract
Background: Endoscopic evacuation of a putaminal hemorrhage is effective and minimally invasive; however, it may not result in sufficient brain decompression. While monitoring postoperative intracranial pressure (ICP) is likely useful, specific ICP data in patients with a putaminal hemorrhage are limited. The aim of this study was to determine the association between postoperative ICP and the prognosis of patients with putaminal hemorrhage after endoscopic surgery. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 24 consecutive patients with a putaminal hemorrhage in whom ICP monitoring after endoscopic surgery was performed. Clinical data regarding hematoma volume, evacuation rate, onset-to-treatment time, operation time, ICP max, ICP peak out time (T peak out), and neurological outcomes on discharge were investigated. Results: From August 2011 to October 2015, 24 patients with a putaminal hemorrhage were analyzed. Consciousness on admission and hemorrhage volume were associated with poor outcomes after endoscopic surgery for putaminal hemorrhage. The hematoma volume, operation time, and evacuation rate of hemorrhage were correlated to early peak out of ICP. Furthermore, a T peak out ≤24 h was significantly associated with good neurological outcomes on discharge. Conclusions: Our data suggest that early peak out (≤24 h) of ICP after endoscopic surgery is predictive of a good prognosis following putaminal hemorrhage. Operation time and evacuation rate of hemorrhage could hasten peak out of ICP and improve outcomes in patients with a putaminal hemorrhage after endoscopic surgery.

Abstract
Objective The effect of surgical treatment for supratentorial spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and whether it is modified by key baseline characteristics and timing remains uncertain. Methods We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials of surgical treatment of supratentorial spontaneous ICH aimed at clot removal. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases up to February 21, 2019. Primary outcome was good functional outcome at follow‐up; secondary outcomes were death and serious adverse events. We analyzed all types of surgery combined and minimally invasive approaches separately. We pooled risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals and assessed the modifying effect of age, Glasgow Coma Scale, hematoma volume, and timing of surgery with meta‐regression analysis. Results We included 21 studies with 4,145 patients; 4 (19%) were of the highest quality. Risk ratio of good functional outcome after any type of surgery was 1.40 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.22–1.60, I2 = 46%, 20 studies), and after minimally invasive surgery it was 1.47 (95% CI = 1.26–1.72, I2 = 47%, 12 studies). For death, the risk ratio for any type of surgery was 0.77 (95% CI = 0.68–0.85, I2 = 23%, 21 studies), and for minimally invasive surgery it was 0.68 (95% CI = 0.56–0.83, I2 = 14%, 13 studies). Serious adverse events were reported infrequently. Surgery seemed more effective when performed sooner after symptom onset (p = 0.04, 12 studies). Age, Glasgow Coma Scale, and hematoma volume did not modify the effect of surgery. Interpretation Surgical treatment of supratentorial spontaneous ICH may be beneficial, in particular with minimally invasive procedures and when performed soon after symptom onset. Further well‐designed randomized trials are needed to demonstrate whether (minimally invasive) surgery improves functional outcome after ICH and to determine the optimal time window of the treatment after symptom onset.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To present a three-dimensional (3D)-printed model that simulates endoscopic and exoscopic intracerebral hematoma (ICH) surgery with a tubular retractor. METHODS We used 3D printing technology to develop the model that consisted of the skull frame and a replaceable inserted module. Edible gelatin and animal blood were placed into the module to mimic brain tissue and the hematoma. Twenty neurosurgeons were recruited to participate in our training program that required the use of an endoscope and an exoscope to aspirate the hematoma with a tubular retractor. Five postgraduates were asked to complete the entire training with the endoscope five times. Questionnaires were distributed for feedback after the training program. RESULTS The more experienced surgeons obviously performed better than the rather inexperienced surgeons, verifying that our model could reflect the ability of the trainees. As the training progressed, the scores of the postgraduates increased, and the average score of the fifth training was obviously higher than the first score. No significant differences were observed in the trainees' performance with the endoscope and the exoscope. The feedback questionnaires showed the average score for value of the simulator as a training tool was a 3.65 (on a 4-point scale). Our model received better comments regarding the bone texture (mean: 3.20), the brain tissue texture (mean: 3.20), and the experience in aspirating the hematoma (mean: 3.10). The surgical position (mean: 2.95), surgical approach (mean: 2.90), and simulated brain tissue (mean: 2.85) should be improved. CONCLUSION Our model was practical for endoscopic and exoscopic ICH surgery training. The results of our program showed that prior surgical experience benefited the mastery of both the endoscopic and the exoscopic ICH surgery in the 3D-printed model. Our model could make mastering basic skills more efficient.

Abstract
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is a devastating disease, accounting for 10 to 15% of all types of stroke; however, it is associated with disproportionally higher rates of mortality and disability. Despite significant progress in the acute management of these patients, the ideal surgical management is still to be determined. Surgical hematoma drainage has many theoretical benefits, such as the prevention of mass effect and cerebral herniation, reduction in intracranial pressure, and the decrease of excitotoxicity and neurotoxicity of blood products. Several surgical techniques have been considered, such as open craniotomy, decompressive craniectomy, neuroendoscopy, and minimally invasive catheter evacuation followed by thrombolysis. Open craniotomy is the most studied approach in this clinical scenario, the first randomized controlled trial dating from the early 1960s. Since then, a large number of studies have been published, which included two large, well-designed, well-powered, multicenter, multinational, randomized clinical trials. These studies, The International Surgical Trial in Intracerebral Hemorrhage (STICH), and the STICH II have shown no clinical benefit for early surgical evacuation of intraparenchymal hematoma in patients with spontaneous supratentorial hemorrhage when compared with best medical management plus delayed surgery if necessary. However, the results of STICH trials may not be generalizable, because of the high rates of patients’ crossover from medical management to the surgical group. Without these high crossover percentages, the rates of unfavorable outcome and death with conservative management would have been higher. Additionally, comatose patients and patients at risk of cerebral herniation were not included. In these cases, surgery may be lifesaving, which prevented those patients of being enrolled in such trials. This article reviews the clinical evidence of surgical hematoma evacuation, and its role to decrease mortality and improve long-term functional outcome after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background and Purpose— The STICH (Surgical Trial in Lobar Intracerebral Haemorrhage) I and II trials randomized patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) to early surgery or initial conservative treatment. Both were nonsignificant; possibly because surgery has minimal effect on recovery, or because surgery benefits some and harms others. We introduce a new nonparametric method of analysis. The method is then applied to data from a third trial, STITCH(Trauma) (Surgical Trial in Traumatic Intracerebral Haemorrhage), which addressed a similar surgical question in head-injured patients. Methods— Data from 1541 patients from the STICH trials were analyzed using (1) standard meta-analysis of prognosis-based dichotomized outcome and prespecified standard subgroups of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS): 3–8, 9–12, and 13–15; (2) new nonparametric regression of ranked Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale against ranked GCS and ranked volume; and (3) analysis (1) repeated using categories identified by analysis (2). Results— Standard meta-analysis showed more favorable outcomes, although nonsignificant, with surgery if presenting GCS was 9–12 (spontaneous ICH odds ratio, 0.70 [95% CI, 0.48–1.03; P=0.07]; traumatic odds ratio, 0.48 [95% CI, 0.18–1.26; P=0.14]). Ranked analysis showed a similar pattern of results for both spontaneous and traumatic ICH. Surgery was harmful for small lesions with increasing benefit for larger volumes. With GCS, surgery had little effect at either ends of the spectrum but suggested a beneficial effect in the range 10 to 13 (identified graphically). Repeating the meta-analysis with this categorization showed significant benefit for surgery (spontaneous odds ratio, 0.71 [95% CI, 0.51–1.00; P=0.05]; traumatic odds ratio, 0.16 [95% CI, 0.05–0.51; P=0.002]). Conclusions— The nonsignificant results observed in the STICH trials are because of mixing patients who benefit from surgery with those who are harmed. Patients with a GCS 10–13 or a large ICH are likely to benefit from surgery. Our analysis showed a similar effect on traumatic ICH/contusion data and promises to be a valuable tool.

Abstract
OBJECT To investigate the efficacy and safety of four interventions of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage simultaneously. METHODS PubMed, EmBase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating endoscopic surgery (ES), minimally invasive puncture surgery (MIPS), conventional craniotomy (CC), and/or conservative medical treatment (CMT). Good functional outcome, death, and hemorrhage recurrence rates were evaluated by a network meta-analysis. RESULTS 20 RCTs with 3603 patients were included. Compared with CMT, a higher rate of good functional outcome was found after ES (RR=2.21, 95% CI 1.37 to 3.55) and MIPS (RR=1.47, 95% CI 1.24 to 1.73). Both ES (RR=0.62, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.86) and MIPS (RR=0.72, 95% CI 0.58 to 0.90) markedly reduced the rate of death. However, there was no significant difference in efficacy and safety between ES and MIPS. The top ranked P score for the efficacy outcome was for ES (P score=0.9810). ES (P-score=0.0709) ranked lowest for the primary safety outcome. There was a higher risk of hemorrhage recurrence after CC (RR=3.80, 95% CI 1.90 to 7.63) and MIPS (RR=2.86, 95% CI 1.70 to 4.82) compared with CMT whereas no significant difference was found for ES (RR=1.46, 95% CI 0.53 to 4.02). CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that both ES and MIPS significantly improve neurological function and reduce the risk of death compared with CMT, and there is no significant difference between ES and MIPS. Ranking of P scores revealed that ES may be the most optimal intervention to improve functional outcome and prevent death. This needs to be evaluated further.

Efficacy of neuroendoscopic surgery versus craniotomy for supratentorial hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Brain Behav 2019; 9:e01471. [PMID: 31743631 PMCID: PMC6908893 DOI: 10.1002/brb3.1471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2019] [Revised: 09/22/2019] [Accepted: 10/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage (HCH) is a potentially life-threatening neurological condition with an extremely high morbidity and mortality. In recent years, neuroendoscopy has been used to treat intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, the choice of neuroendoscopic surgery versus craniotomy for patients with intracerebral hemorrhages is controversial. AIM We conducted this meta-analysis to assess the efficacy of neuroendoscopic surgery compared with craniotomy in patients with supratentorial hypertensive ICH. METHODS A systematic electronic search was conducted of online electronic databases: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library updated on December 2017. The meta-analysis only included randomized controlled studies. RESULTS Three randomized controlled trials met our inclusion criteria. The pooled analysis of death showed that neuroendoscopic surgery decreased the rate of death when compared with craniotomy (RR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.26-1.29; p = .18). The pooled result of complications indicated that neuroendoscopic surgery has a tendency toward lower complications (RR = 0.37, 95% CI 0.28-0.49; p < .001). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested that neuroendoscopic surgery has lower complications, but no superior advantages in morbidity rates. Since the advantage of neuroendoscopic surgery has been performed in some area, the continuation of multi-center comparative investigation with craniotomy may be necessary. Moreover, some efforts need to be taken in selecting appropriate patients with different treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was performed to explore the efficacy and safety of different surgical interventions in patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracranial hemorrhage (SSICH) and determine which intervention is most suitable for such patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We searched the PubMed, Medline, OVID, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases. The quality of the included studies was assessed. Statistical analyses were performed using the software Stata 13.0 and RevMan 5.3. RESULTS Endoscopic surgery (ES), minimally invasive surgery combined with urokinase (MIS + UK), minimally invasive surgery combined with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (MIS + rt-PA), and craniotomy were associated with higher survival rates and a lower risk of intracranial rebleeding than standard medical care (SMC) in patients with SSICH, especially in younger patients with few comorbidities. The order from highest to lowest survival rate was ES, MIS + UK, MIS + rt-PA, craniotomy, and SMC. The order from lowest to highest intracranial rebleeding risk was ES, MIS + UK, craniotomy, MIS + rt-PA, and SMC. Additionally, compared with SMC, all four surgical interventions (ES, MIS + rt-PA, MIS + UK, and craniotomy) improved the prognosis and reduced the proportion of patients with serious disability. The order from most to least favorable prognosis was MIS + rt-PA, ES, MIS + UK, craniotomy, and SMC. The order from highest to lowest proportion of patients with serious disability was ES, MIS + rt-PA, MIS + UK, craniotomy, and SMC. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that the efficacy and safety of different surgical interventions (ES, MIS + UK, MIS + rt-PA, craniotomy) were superior to those of SMC in the patients with SSICH, especially in younger patients with few comorbidities. Among them, ES was the most reasonable and effective intervention. ES was found not only to improve the survival rate and prognosis but also to have the lowest risk of intracranial rebleeding and the lowest proportion of patients with serious disability.

Abstract
Objectives: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) caused by thalamic hemorrhage leads to hydrocephalus, increased intracranial pressure, and reduced levels of consciousness. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and compare the results of endoscopic surgery for the evacuation of a thalamic and intraventricular hematoma against those of external ventricular drainage (EVD) surgery. Materials and Methods: From January 2010 to December 2018, 68 patients with IVH caused by thalamic hemorrhage were treated in our department. Our study was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee. The included patients were randomly divided into an EVD group and an endoscopic surgery group. The outcome was measured after 3 months using a 30-day mortality rate, pneumonia onset rate, ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt dependency rate, and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score. Results: Thirty-eight of the 68 patients were randomly assigned to the endoscopic surgery group and 30 were assigned to the EVD group. Patients treated with endoscopic surgery had significantly less drainage dependency on day 30 (P = 0.00014 < 0.00005) in comparison to those treated with EVD. The difference in the functional outcomes between the two groups of patients was mainly dependent on the onset of pneumonia and the consciousness level at the time of admission. The onset rate of aspiration-related pneumonia until day 30 was 11% in the endoscopic surgery group and 45% in the EVD group. The VP shunt rates were 27.8% in the endoscopic surgery group and 60% in the EVD group. The endoscopic surgery group had a significantly lower VP shunt rate compared with the EVD group. Intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation late was found to be associated with shunt-dependent rate and hospitalization. Conclusions: Endoscopic surgery was found to be associated with a lower GOS score and lower onset rates for shunt-dependent hydrocephalus and aspiration-related pneumonia in comparison to EVD. High evacuation rate was associated with lower shunt-dependent rate and short hospitalization.

Abstract
Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) describes haemorrhage into the brain parenchyma that may result in a decline of the patient’s neurological function. ICH is a common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Aggressive surgical treatment for ICH has remained controversial as clinical trials have failed to demonstrate substantial improvement in patient outcome and mortality. Recently, promising mechanical and pharmacological minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques for the treatment of ICH have been described. MIS was designed with the objective of reducing morbidity due to complications of surgical manipulation. Mechanical MIS includes the use of tubular retractors and small diameter instruments for ICH removal. Pharmacological methods consist of catheter placement inside the haematoma cavity for the passive drainage of the haematoma over the course of several days. One of the most favourable approaches for MIS is the use of natural corridors for reaching the lesion, such as the transsulcal parafascicular approach. This approach provides an anatomical dissection of the subjacent white matter tracts, causing the least amount of damage while evacuating the haematoma. A detailed description of the currently known MIS techniques and devices is presented in this review. Special attention is given to the transsulcal parafascicular approach, which has particular benefits to provide a less traumatic MIS with promising overall patient outcome.

Abstract
Background and Purpose- Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has been evaluated in numerous clinical trials. Although meta-analyses for this strategy have been performed in the past, recent trials add important information to results of the comparison and permit strategy-specific analyses, including evaluation of endoscopic evacuation and stereotactic thrombolysis. Methods- Major scientific databases including but not limited to Pubmed, the CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials), Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, the ICTRP (International Clinical Trials Registry Platform), the Internet Stroke Center, and the CNKI (Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure) were searched in October of 2017 for randomized controlled trials of MIS treatment of supratentorial spontaneous ICH. The primary outcome was defined as death or dependence at the end of follow-up, and the secondary outcome was defined as death. Results- The initial search yielded 958 reports, which were reduced to 15 high-quality randomized controlled trials involving 2152 patients. We analyzed odds ratios for MIS overall, endoscopic surgery, and stereotactic thrombolysis compared with conventional treatment, including medical treatment and conventional craniotomy. The odds ratio and CIs of the primary and secondary outcomes were 0.46 (0.36-0.57) and 0.59 (0.45-0.76) for MIS versus conventional treatment; 0.40 (0.25-0.66) and 0.37 (0.20-0.67) for endoscopic surgery versus conventional treatment; 0.47 (0.34-0.65) and 0.76 (0.56-1.04) for stereotactic thrombolysis versus conventional treatment; and 0.44 (0.29-0.67) and 0.56 (0.37-0.84) for MIS versus craniotomy. We also conducted subgroup analyses focusing on time to evacuation for MIS versus conventional treatment and found 0.36 (0.22-0.59) and 0.59 (0.34-1.00) for evacuations performed within 24 hours and 0.49 (0.38-0.63) and 0.57 (0.43-0.76) for evacuations performed within 72 hours. Conclusions- This meta-analysis demonstrates that select patients with supratentorial ICH benefit from MIS over other treatments. This beneficial effect remains true when analyzing specific techniques and evacuation timing subgroups.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of endoscopic surgery via a Kocher point approach for intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) caused by thalamic hemorrhage (TH), in comparison with external ventricular drainage (EVD). Between January 2016 and August 2017, a total of 40 patients with IVH caused by TH were enrolled. The patients were assigned to an EVD group and an endoscopic surgery group in a non-randomized manner. The pre-operative characteristics recorded included age, pre-operative Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, hemorrhage volume, length of neuro-intensive care unit stay and Graeb score of IVH. Outcomes included the GCS score at 2 weeks after surgery, 30-day and 90-day mortality rates, modified Rankin scale at 6 months after ictus and ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt rate. The baseline characteristics were not significantly different between the two groups. The VP shunt rate in the EVD group was significantly higher compared with that in the endoscopic surgery group (50.0 vs. 15.0%; P=0.02; odds ratio, 5.7). In conclusion, smartphone-assisted endoscopic surgery via Kocher's point is feasible and safe, and significantly reduces permanent shunt dependency for IVH caused by TH.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article describes the advances in the management of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in adults. RECENT FINDINGS Therapeutic intervention in intracerebral hemorrhage has continued to focus on arresting hemorrhage expansion, with large randomized controlled trials addressing the effectiveness of rapidly lowering blood pressure, hemostatic therapy with platelet transfusion, and other clotting complexes and clot volume reduction both of intraventricular and parenchymal hematomas using minimally invasive techniques. Smaller studies targeting perihematomal edema and inflammation may also show promise. SUMMARY The management of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, long relegated to the management and prevention of complications, is undergoing a recent evolution in large part owing to stereotactically guided clot evacuation techniques that have been shown to be safe and that may potentially improve outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating form of stroke and accounts for 10-15% of all cases. The management of ICH has predominantly been directed towards medical management. Multiple trials have failed to prove the superiority of surgical evacuation over conservative methods. However, surgery in a carefully selected set of patients is beneficial in reducing mortality and limiting disability. In this article, we retrospectively analysed our ICH register to compare the outcomes of surgical and conservative management of patients <70 years having a clot volume above 30 ml. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analysed patients with ICH admitted at our centre between January 2015 and December 2017. A total of 119/624 patients with supratentorial hematoma volume >30 ml, GCS ≥ 5 and age less than 70 were included in this study. RESULTS The group was dichotomised into two groups A & B based on the management. Seventy-two (60.5%) patients underwent surgical intervention in group A and the remaining 47 (39.5%) were managed by best possible conservative methods in group B. The mean age in Group A was 51.01 years and 55.89 years in group B (P = 0.012). The volume of hematoma in the surgical group was 46.5 ± 14.9 ml in comparison to 38.53 ± 10.84 ml in the medically managed group (p = 0.002). Mortality at 90 days was 27/47 (57.44%) in the medically managed group while 23/72 (31.9%) in the surgical group (p = 0.006). Median mRS at discharge and 90 days were nearly identical and there was no significant difference in the dichotomized outcome among the two different management cohorts (p > 0.05). Mortality was the highest in the 30-50 ml medically managed group and >51 ml surgical group (p = 0.024). Age of the patient, GCS on presentation and medical management were independent predictors of mortality on logistic regression. The Cox Regression survival analysis of the two groups showed a clear survival advantage in the surgically managed group adjusting for age and GCS (p = 0.002) at 90 days. CONCLUSION Surgical Evacuation of spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage has a survival advantage at 90 days in moderate to large sized hematomas. It, however, did not demonstrate any quantifiable improvement in functional outcome. Surgical evacuation of moderate-sized hematomas reduces mortality caused by delayed perihematomal oedema.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Supratentorial intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) carries an excessive mortality and morbidity. Although surgical ICH treatment can be life-saving, the indications for surgery in larger cohorts of ICH patients are controversial and not well defined. We hypothesised that surgical indications vary substantially among neurosurgical centres in Sweden. OBJECTIVE In this nation-wide retrospective observational study, differences in treatment strategies among all neurosurgical departments in Sweden were evaluated. METHODS Patient records, neuroimaging and clinical outcome focused on 30-day mortality were collected on each operated ICH patient treated at any of the six neurosurgical centres in Sweden from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2015. RESULTS In total, 578 consecutive surgically treated ICH patients were evaluated. There was a similar incidence of surgical treatment among different neurosurgical catchment areas. Patient selection for surgery was similar among the centres in terms of patient age, pre-operative level of consciousness and co-morbidities, but differed in ICH volume, proportion of deep-seated vs. lobar ICH and pre-operative signs of herniation (p < .05). Post-operative patient management strategies, including the use of ICP-monitoring, CSF-drainage and mechanical ventilation, varied among centres (p < .05). The 30-day mortality ranged between 10 and 28%. CONCLUSIONS Although indications for surgical treatment of ICH in the six Swedish neurosurgical centres were homogenous with regard to age and pre-operative level of consciousness, important differences in ICH volume, proportion of deep-seated haemorrhages and pre-operative signs of herniation were observed, and there was a substantial variability in post-operative management. The present results reflect the need for refined evidence-based guidelines for surgical management of ICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to study the feasibility of body surface projection in neuroendoscopic treatment of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and to evaluate the prognosis of muscle strength using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) technique. METHODS We utilized 3D-SLICER software and adopted hematoma body surface projection orientation to eliminate ICH by using neuroendoscope for 69 cases of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. The standard of correct location was determined by the direct view of hematoma at the first operation. Evacuation rate by comparing computed tomography (CT) before and after the surgery and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) was computed. DTI was used for pyramidal tract imaging 3 weeks after the operation, while the prognosis of muscle strength was assessed after 6 months. The control group included 69 patients with basal ganglia hemorrhage who received conservative treatment during the same period. RESULTS The hematoma evacuation rate was 90.75% in average. The average GCS score rose by 4 points one week after the surgery. The shape of pyramidal tract affected the prognosis of body muscle strength, and the simple disruption type was the worst. There was no difference in mortality between the surgery group (10.1%) and the conservative group (4.3%). The muscle strength improvement value and modulate RANK score (MRS) in the surgery group were better than the control group. CONCLUSION It is convenient and feasible to use the surface projection to determine the target of operation, and the clearance rate of hematoma is high. Pyramidal tract imaging can predict the prognosis of muscle strength.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH), postoperative recurrent hemorrhage (PRH) is one of the most severe complications after endoscopic evacuation of hematoma (EEH). However, no predictors of this complication have been identified. In the present study, the authors retrospectively investigated whether PRH can be preoperatively predicted by the presence of the spot sign on CT scans. METHODS In total, 143 patients with sICH were treated by EEH between June 2009 and March 2017, and 127 patients who underwent preoperative CT angiography were included in this study. Significant correlations of PRH with the patients' baseline, clinical, and radiographic characteristics, including the spot sign, were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS The incidence of and risk factors for PRH were assessed in 127 patients with available data. PRH occurred in 9 (7.1%) patients. Five (21.7%) cases of PRH were observed among 23 patients with the spot sign, whereas only 4 (3.8%) cases of PRH occurred among 104 patients without the spot sign. The spot sign was the only independent predictor of PRH (OR 5.81, 95% CI 1.26-26.88; p = 0.02). The following factors were not independently associated with PRH: age, hypertension, poor consciousness, antihemostatic factors (thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy, and use of antithrombotic drugs), the location and size of the sICH, other radiographic findings (black hole sign and blend sign), surgical duration and procedures, and early surgery. CONCLUSIONS The spot sign is likely to be a strong predictor of PRH after EEH among patients with sICH. Complete and careful control of bleeding in the operative field should be ensured when surgically treating such patients. New surgical strategies and procedures might be needed to improve these patients' outcomes.

J Cerebrovasc Endovasc Neurosurg 2019; 21:11-17. [PMID: 31832382 PMCID: PMC6901811 DOI: 10.7461/jcen.2019.21.1.11] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2019] [Revised: 03/26/2019] [Accepted: 03/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage is a potentially life-threatening neurological deficit with the highest morbidity and mortality. In recent years, neuroendoscopy has been used to treat intracerebral hemorrhages (ICHs). However, the choice of neuroendoscopic surgery or craniotomy for patients with ICHs is controversial. The objective of this meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy of neuroendoscopic surgery compared to craniotomy in patients with supratentorial hypertensive ICH. Materials and Methods A systematic electronic search was performed using online electronic databases such as Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane library updated on December 2017. The meta-analysis was performed by only including studies designed as randomized controlled trials. Results Three randomized controlled trials met our inclusion criteria. Pooled analysis of death showed that neuroendoscopic surgery decreased the rate of death compared to craniotomy (RR=0.58, 95% CI: 0.26-1.29; P=0.18). Pooled results of complications showed that neuroendoscopic surgery tended to have fewer complications than craniotomy had (RR=0.37, 95% CI: 0.28-0.49; P < 0.0001). Conclusion Although the presenting analyses suggest that neuroendoscopic surgery should have fewer complications than craniotomy dose, it had no superior advantage in morbidity rate definitely. Therefore, it may be necessary for the neurosurgeons to select best optimal patients for individual treatment.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to compare the therapeutic effects of stereotactic aspiration and best medical management in patients who developed supratentorial hypertensive intracerebral haemorrhage (HICH) with a volume of haemorrhage between 20 and 40 mL. Methods The clinical data of 220 patients with supratentorial HICH with a volume between 20 and 40 mL were retrospectively analysed. Among them, 142 received stereotactic aspiration surgery (stereotactic aspiration group) and 78 received best medical management (conservative group). All were followed up for 6 months. Multivariate logistic regression and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to compare the outcome between the two groups. Results The rebleeding rate was lower in the group that had stereotactic aspiration when compared with the group with medical treatment (6 [4.2%] vs 9 [11.5%], χ2=4.364, p=0.037). After 6 months, although the mortality rate did not differ significantly between the two groups (8 cases [5.6%] vs 10 cases [12.8%], χ2=3.461, p=0.063), the rate of a favourable outcome was higher in the group who received stereotactic aspiration (χ2=15.870, p=0.000). Logistic regression identified that medical treatment (OR=1.64, p=0.000) was an independent risk factor for an unfavourable outcome. The Kaplan-Meier curves indicated that the median favourable outcome time in the stereotactic aspiration group was 59.5 days compared with that in the medically treated group (87.0 days). The log-rank test indicated that the prognosis at 6 months was better for those treated with stereotactic haematoma aspiration (χ2=29.866, p=0.000). However, the 6-month survival rate was similar between the two groups (χ2=3.253, p=0.068). Conclusions Stereotactic haematoma aspiration significantly improved the quality of life, although did not effectively reduce the rate of mortality. When selected appropriately, patients with HICH may benefit from this type of surgical intervention.

Abstract
BackgroundWe conducted a case-control study to assess the relative safety and efficacy of minimally invasive endoscopic surgery (MIS) for clot evacuation in patients with basal-ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).MethodsWe evaluated consecutive patients with acute basal-ganglia ICH at a single center over a 42-month period. Patients received either best medical management according to established guidelines (controls) or MIS (cases). The following outcomes were compared before and after propensity-score matching (PSM): in-hospital mortality; discharge National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score; discharge disposition; and modified Rankin Scale scores at discharge and at 3 months.ResultsAmong 224 ICH patients, 19 (8.5%) underwent MIS (mean age, 50.9±10.9; 26.3% female, median ICH volume, 40 (IQR, 25–51)). The interventional cohort was younger with higher ICH volume and stroke severity compared with the medically managed cohort. After PSM, 18 MIS patients were matched to 54 medically managed individuals. The two cohorts did not differ in any of the baseline characteristics. The median ICH volume at 24 hours was lower in the intervention group (40 cm3 (IQR, 25–50) vs 15 cm3 (IQR, 5–20); P<0.001). The two cohorts did not differ in any of the pre-specified outcomes measures except for in-hospital mortality, which was lower in the interventional cohort (28% vs 56%; P=0.041).ConclusionsMinimally invasive endoscopic hematoma evacuation was associated with lower rates of in-hospital mortality in patients with spontaneous basal-ganglia ICH. These findings support a randomized controlled trial of MIS versus medical management for ICH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (SSICH) is one of the deadliest diseases, and neuroendoscopic surgery (NE) is a minimally invasive and promising treatment that might improve the functional recovery of patients. This study analyzed patient's experience with this treatment in terms of safety, efficacy, and surgical technique. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty-two patients with SSICHs treated by transcranial neuroendoscopic approach were retrospectively reviewed from June 2016 to July 2018 in our department. Patients were classified into four groups according to the main location of the hematoma on CT scans: Group A (basal ganglia hemorrhage), Group B (subcortical hemorrhage), Group C (thalamic hemorrhage), and Group D (intraventricular hemorrhage [IVH]). The clinical data were collected, and the outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS All procedures were successfully completed, and no patient died in the perioperative period. The average hematoma evacuation rate was 90.1%, and the highest hematoma evacuation rate was achieved in Group B which was 92.7%. No severe complications occurred, and the average GCS score improvement was 4.0 at discharge. CONCLUSION These data suggest that evacuation hemorrhage by neuroendoscopy might be an effective and safe approach for SSICH. For better efficiency of this treatment, some details needed to be emphasized, such as setting up a good working channel, using of suction and bipolar forceps accurately.

Abstract
We present a patient with pontine hemorrhage. On admission, the patient was in a comatose state (Glasgow coma scale, 3). Due to rapid deterioration of his breathing, we immediately performed a direct puncture to the hematoma site. We present a simple and rapid puncture method for drainage of hematomas. The method is described and discussed in detail in this article. The described technique may be beneficial in emergency situations where the condition of the patient, particularly their respiration is declining rapidly.

Abstract
Introduction Novel image-guided, minimally invasive techniques to evacuate intracerebral hematomas represent a promising new avenue in the management of this disease entity. To our knowledge, a direct comparison of the Penumbra Apollo (Penumbra Inc, Alameda, California, US) and Nico BrainPath (Indianapolis, Indiana, US) system has not yet been performed. Methods A retrospective review of image-guided, minimally invasive evacuation of intracerebral hematomas performed at one academic institution in the United States between July 2015 and July 2017 was performed. Cases performed with the Apollo and BrainPath system were matched based on age, gender, hematoma location and laterality, and volume. Results Twenty-four patients underwent surgery using either of the two minimally invasive surgical systems and five cases in each group were matched for age, gender, hematoma location and laterality, and volume. Median time from symptom onset to evacuation was two days with a mean distance from the brain surface to the clot of approximately 40 millimeters in both groups. Both techniques achieved comparable clot evacuation. The functional outcome was poor with either technique with the majority of patients dependent or dead at last follow-up. Conclusions In the present, small, matched cohort study, both the Apollo and BrainPath techniques achieved satisfactory clot evacuation. Nevertheless, the functional outcome in this patient population remains poor in the majority of cases.

Abstract
Background Recently, minimal invasive surgery (MIS) has been applied as a common therapeutic approach for treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH). However, the efficacy and safety of MIS is still controversial compared with conservative medical treatment or conventional craniotomy. This meta-analysis aimed to systematically assess the safety and efficacy of MIS compared with conservative method and craniotomy in treating HICH patients. Methods PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Controlled Trials Register were used to identify relevant studies on MIS treatment of HICH up to November 2017. This study evaluated Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score, Activities of Daily Living (ADL) score, pulmonary infection rate, mortality rate, and rebleeding rate for patients who underwent MIS, or conservative method, or craniotomy. Subgroup analyses were performed to compare randomization versus non-randomization and large hematoma versus small or mild hematoma. Begg’s test and Egger’s test were used to determine the potential presence of publication bias. Results Sixteen studies consisting of 1912 patients were included in this study to compare the efficacy and safety of MIS to conservative method or craniotomy. MIS contributed to a significant improvement on the prognosis of the patients comparing with conservative group or craniotomy group. Patients undergoing MIS had a lower mortality rate when compared to those receiving conservative method. Also, MIS led to a notable reduction of rebleeding rate and an effective improvement of the patient’s quality of life by contrast with craniotomy. No obvious difference was found in terms of the pulmonary infection rate among the comparisons of three treatment methods. Randomization is not the potential source of heterogeneity, but hematoma volume may be a risk factor for post-operative mortality rate. No statistical evidence of publication bias among studies was found under most of comparison models. Conclusion This meta-analysis suggests that minimal invasive surgery is an efficient and safe method for the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, which is associated with a low mortality rate and rebleeding rate, as well as a significant improvement of the prognosis and the quality life of patients when compared with conservative medical treatment or craniotomy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Minimally-invasive surgery (MIS) has been increasingly used in recent years. We systematically reviewed the role of MIS in the acute management of ICH using various techniques. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A comprehensive electronic search for relevant articles was conducted on several relevant international databases, including PUBMED (Medline), EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Our primary literature research resulted in 1134 articles. In total, 116 publications finally met the eligibility criteria to be included in our systematic review. Five major MIS categories for the evacuation of ICH were identified, respectively: minimally invasive direct aspiration with or without thrombolytics, endoscope assisted technique, sonothrombolysis, aspiration-irrigation device and endoport-assisted evacuation. CONCLUSIONS The role of minimally invasive techniques in the management of ICH remains under dispute. However, a mounting evidence in the literature demonstrates that MIS is associated with significantly improved outcomes when compared with conservative treatment and conventional surgical evacuation strategy.

Abstract
Besides the established spot sign in computed tomography angiography (CTA), recently investigated imaging predictors of hematoma growth in noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) suggest great potential for outcome prediction in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Secondary hematoma growth is an appealing target for therapeutic interventions because in contrast to other determined factors, it is potentially modifiable. Even more initial therapy studies failed to demonstrate clear therapeutic benefits, there is a need for an effective patient selection using imaging markers to identify patients at risk for poor outcome and thereby tailor individual treatments for every patient. Hence, this review gives an overview about the current literature on NCCT imaging markers for neurological outcome prediction and aims to clarify the association with the established spot sign. Moreover, it demonstrates the clinical impact of these parameters and gives a roadmap for future imaging research in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subset of stroke due to spontaneous bleeding within the parenchyma of the brain. It is potentially lethal, and survival depends on ensuring an adequate airway, proper diagnosis, and early management of several specific issues such as blood pressure, coagulopathy reversal, and surgical hematoma evacuation for appropriate patients. ICH was chosen as an Emergency Neurological Life Support (ENLS) protocol because intervention within the first hours may improve outcome, and it is critical to have site-specific protocols to drive care quickly and efficiently.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Minimally invasive techniques such as stereotactic aspiration have been regarded as promising alternative methods to replace craniotomy in the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The aim of this study was to identify the optimal timing of stereotactic aspiration and analyze the factors affecting the clinical outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 81 patients who underwent stereotactic aspiration for spontaneous supratentorial ICH at single institution. Volume of hematoma was calculated based on computed tomography scan at admission, just before aspiration, immediately after aspiration, and after continuous drainage. The neurologic outcome was compared with Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) score. RESULTS The mean volume ratio of residual hematoma was 59.5% and 17.6% immediately after aspiration and after continuous drainage for an average of 2.3 days, respectively. Delayed aspiration group showed significantly lower residual volume ratio immediately after aspiration. However, there was no significant difference in the residual volume ratio after continuous drainage. The favorable outcome of 1-month GOS 4 or 5 was significantly better in the group with delayed aspiration after more than 7 days (p = 0.029), despite no significant difference in postoperative 6-months GOS score. A factor which has significant correlation with postoperative 6-months favorable outcome was the final hematoma volume ratio after drainage (p = 0.028). CONCLUSION There is no difference in final residual volume of hematoma or 6-months neurologic outcome according to the surgical timing of hematoma aspiration. The only factor affecting the postoperative 6-months neurologic outcome is the final volume of remaining hematoma after drainage.

Abstract
Adult-onset intraventricular hemorrhage is a potentially life-threatening condition associated with a high morbidity and mortality rates. Intraventricular hemorrhage remains one of the most challenging entities for neurosurgeons to treat. Various medical and surgical modalities have been employed for the management of this entity with variable success and complications rates. In this paper, we review the neurosurgical interventions for the management of intraventricular hemorrhage and describe new approaches and potential therapeutic modalities for the management of this devastating condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive thrombolytic evacuation of intracerebral hematoma is being investigated in the ongoing phase III clinical trial of Minimally Invasive Surgery plus recombinant Tissue plasminogen activator for Intracerebral hemorrhage Evacuation (MISTIE III). OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy of catheter placement and efficacy of hematoma evacuation in relation to surgical approach and surgeon experience. METHODS We performed a trial midpoint interim assessment of 123 cases that underwent the surgical procedure. Accuracy of catheter placement was prospectively assessed by the trial Surgical Center based on prearticulated criteria. Hematoma evacuation efficacy was evaluated based on absolute volume reduction, percentage hematoma evacuation, and reaching the target end-of-treatment volume of <15 mL. One of 3 surgical trajectories was used: anterior (A), posterior (B), and lobar (C). Surgeons were classified based on experience with the MISTIE procedure as prequalified, qualified with probation, and fully qualified. RESULTS The average hematoma volume was 49.7 mL (range 20.0-124), and the mean evacuation rate was 71% (range 18.4%-99.8%). First placed catheters were 58% in good position, 28% suboptimal (but suitable to dose), and 14% poor (requiring repositioning). Posterior trajectory (B) was associated with significantly higher rates of poor placement (35%, P = .01). There was no significant difference in catheter placement accuracy among surgeons of varying experience. Hematoma evacuation efficacy was not significantly different among the 3 surgical approaches or different surgeons' experience. CONCLUSION Ongoing surgical education and quality monitoring in MISTIE III have resulted in consistent rates of hematoma evacuation despite technical challenges with the surgical approaches and among surgeons of varying experience.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Outcomes of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) versus conventional craniotomy (CC) for patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) have not been compared previously. We reviewed the current evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of MIS compared with CC in patients with SICH. METHODS We conducted a meta-analysis of studies comparing MIS and CC in patients with computed tomography-confirmed SICH published between January 2000 and April 2018 in MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register based on PRISMA inclusion and exclusion criteria. Binary outcomes comparisons between MIS and CC were described using odds ratios (ORs). RESULTS Five randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 9 prospective controlled studies (non-RCTs), involving a total of 2466 patients, met our inclusion criteria. There was a statistically significant difference in mortality rate between MIS and CC (OR, 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.60-0.97). MIS was associated with a lower rate of rebleeding (OR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.28-0.64) and a higher rate of good recovery compared with CC (OR, 2.27; 95% CI, 1.34-3.83). CONCLUSIONS Patients with SICH may benefit more from MIS than CC. Our study could help clinicians optimize treatment strategies in SICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage remains a major cause of death and dependence. Endoscopic surgery (ES) is potential to improve outcomes, but a consensus on the superiority of ES has not been achieved. We conducted a systematic review to clarify the effect of ES in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage and compare it with other treatment options (craniotomy, conservation, and stereotactic aspiration [SA]). METHODS We performed this review based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis. The subgroup analyses were stratified by study type, location, hematoma volume, interval to treatment, follow-up time, and stereotactic frame assistance. RESULTS A total of 18 studies were included containing 1213 patients, most of whom harbored a hematoma greater than 50 mL. Compared with craniotomy and conservation, ES significantly reduced the mortality (P < 0.0001), poor outcomes (P < 0.00001), rebleeding (P = 0.0009), and pneumonia (P < 0.00001). In the subgroup analyses, late surgery (<48 hours) benefited more from ES than early surgery (<24 hours). The study location, hematoma volume, and stereotactic frame assistance insignificantly influenced the therapeutic effect of ES. Comparing ES and SA, we found that differences in mortality, poor outcomes, and rebleeding were insignificant, but ES had a greater evacuation rate and SA had shorter operative times. CONCLUSIONS ES achieves a better performance than craniotomy and conservation in terms of reducing mortality, dependence, and specific complications. Despite being similarly effective in improving functional outcomes, ES and SA have respective advantages. ES is a feasible alternation to craniotomy and conservation, and the comparison between ES and SA warrants further study.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the difference in outcomes of medium-sized lobar hematomas evacuated in early versus delayed fashion among unconscious noncomatose individuals. Methods: A retrospective analysis of demographic, clinical, and radiological data of unconscious patients admitted with lobar hematomas during 18 years was performed. Time to surgery was compared in various patient variables and characteristics. Outcome groups (favorable and poor) were also compared to find out any association with surgery timing, as well as potential indicators of outcome and mortality. Results: The mean follow-up period in this study was 7.5 months after discharge. Two-thirds of the patients carried favorable prognosis at final follow-up with mortality (7.3%) included among poor cases. Time to surgery was not associated to any of the patient characteristics, except for international normalized ratio and associated chest problems which represented the main indicators of delayed surgery. Rebleeding after evacuation was associated with shorter time to surgery in clots ≤35 cc but not in the whole group. Poor outcome was significantly associated with higher basal glucose levels, bigger hematomas, rebleeding after surgery, and delayed evacuation of clots >35 cc. The presence of mild intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) per se was not associated with increased mortality or poor outcome; however, its volume was. Conclusion: Smaller lobar hematomas (≤35 cc) in unconscious adults (Glasgow Coma Scale 8–13) may be managed with initial conservative treatment, while larger hematomas (>35 cc) are better evacuated as early as possible. Basal glucose levels and volume of mild IVH should be considered in the future management planes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, neuroendoscopy has been used as a method for treating intracerebral hemorrhages (ICHs). However, the efficacy and safety of neuroendoscopic surgery is still controversial compared with that of craniotomy. Our aim was to compare the outcomes of neuroendoscopic surgery and craniotomy in patients with supratentorial hypertensive ICH using a meta-analysis. METHODS We searched on PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify relevant studies in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Quality of eligible studies was evaluated and the related data were extracted by 2 reviewers independently. This study assessed clinical outcomes, evacuation rates, complications, operation time, and hospital stay for patients who underwent neuroendoscopic surgery (NE group) or craniotomy (craniotomy group). RESULTS Meta-analysis included 1327 subjects from verified studies of acceptable quality. There was no significant heterogeneity between the included studies based on clinical outcomes. Compared with craniotomy, neuroendoscopic surgery significantly improved clinical outcomes in both randomized controlled studies (RCTs) group (relative risk: 0.62; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.47-0.81, P < .001) and non-RCTs group (relative risk: 0.84; 95% CI: 0.75-0.95, P = .005); decreased the rate of death (relative risk: 0.53; 95% CI, 0.37-0.76, P < .001) in non-RCTs group but not in RCTs group (relative risk: 0.58; 95% CI, 0.26-1.29, P = .18); increased evacuation rates in non-RCTs group (standard mean differences: 0.75; 95% CI, 0.24-1.26, P = .004) and had a tendency of higher evacuation rates in RCTs group (standard mean differences: 1.34; 95% CI, 0.01-2.68, P = .05); reduced the total risk of complications in non-RCTs group (relative risk: 0.45; 95% CI, 0.25-0.83, P = .01) and RCTs group (relative risk: 0.37; 95% CI, 0.28-0.49, P < .001); reduced the operation time in non-RCTs group (standard mean differences: 3.26; 95% CI: 1.20-5.33, P < .001) and RCTs group (standard mean differences: 4.37; 95% CI: 3.32-5.41, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested that the NE group showed better clinical outcomes than the craniotomy group for patients with supratentorial hypertensive ICH. Moreover, the patients who underwent neuroendoscopy had a higher evacuation rate, lower risk of complications, and shorter operation time compared with those that underwent a craniotomy.

Abstract
The incidence of spontaneous intracerebral hematoma (SICH) is even now high worldwide, especially higher in Japan than in Western countries, despite the development of advances in blood pressure (BP) management and food/alcohol intake education. Although mortality and morbidity for SICH are high, some controversies remain regarding the appropriate acute phase of treatment. Recent studies have revealed that BP lowering treatment than 140 mmHg resulted in better outcomes. However the efficacy of surgical treatment for SICH has not been well established, with the exception of that for cerebellar SICH over 3 cm in diameter and life-saving procedures, although many randomized control studies and systematic reviews focused on surgical treatment have been reported. In this review, we summarize some issues and discuss strategies in development for the treatment of SICH.

Abstract
AbstractBACKGROUNDThe surgical management of supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) remains controversial due to large trials failing to show clear benefits. Several minimally invasive techniques have emerged as an alternative to a conventional craniotomy with promising results.OBJECTIVETo report our experience with endoport-assisted surgery in the evacuation of supratentorial ICH and its effects on outcome compared to matched medical controls.METHODSRetrospective data were gathered of patients who underwent endoport-assisted evacuation between January 2014 and October 2016 by a single surgeon. Patients who were managed medically during the same period were matched to the surgical cohort. Previously published cohorts investigating the same technique were analyzed against the present cohort.RESULTSSixteen patients were identified and matched to 16 patients treated medically. Location, hemorrhage volume, and initial Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score did not differ significantly between the 2 cohorts. The mean volume reduction in the surgical cohort was 92.05% ± 7.05%. The improvement in GCS in the surgical cohort was statistically significant (7-13, P = .006). Compared to the medical cohort, endoport-assisted surgery resulted in a statistically significant difference in in-hospital mortality (6.25% vs 75.0%, P < .001) and 30-d mortality (6.25% vs 81.25%, P < .001). Compared to previously published cohorts, the present cohort had lower median preoperative GCS (7 vs 10, P = .02), but postoperative GCS did not differ significantly (13 vs 14, P = .28).CONCLUSIONEndoport-assisted surgery is associated with high clot evacuation and decreases 30-d mortality compared to a similar medical group.
