Minimally invasive surgeries for spontaneous hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (MISICH): a multicenter randomized controlled trial. BMC Med 2024; 22:244. [PMID: 38867192 PMCID: PMC11170771 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-024-03468-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common stroke type with high morbidity and mortality. There are mainly three surgical methods for treating ICH. Unfortunately, thus far, no specific surgical method has been proven to be the most effective. We carried out this study to investigate whether minimally invasive surgeries with endoscopic surgery or stereotactic aspiration (frameless navigated aspiration) will improve functional outcomes in patients with supratentorial ICH compared with small-bone flap craniotomy. METHODS In this parallel-group multicenter randomized controlled trial conducted at 16 centers, patients with supratentorial hypertensive ICH were randomized to receive endoscopic surgery, stereotactic aspiration, or craniotomy at a 1:1:1 ratio from July 2016 to June 2022. The follow-up duration was 6 months. Patients were randomized to receive endoscopic evacuation, stereotactic aspiration, or small-bone flap craniotomy. The primary outcome was favorable functional outcome, defined as the proportion of patients who achieved a modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of 0-2 at the 6-month follow-up. RESULTS A total of 733 patients were randomly allocated to three groups: 243 to the endoscopy group, 247 to the aspiration group, and 243 to the craniotomy group. Finally, 721 patients (239 in the endoscopy group, 246 in the aspiration group, and 236 in the craniotomy group) received treatment and were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. Primary efficacy analysis revealed that 73 of 219 (33.3%) in the endoscopy group, 72 of 220 (32.7%) in the aspiration group, and 47 of 212 (22.2%) in the craniotomy group achieved favorable functional outcome at the 6-month follow-up (P = .017). We got similar results in subgroup analysis of deep hemorrhages, while in lobar hemorrhages the prognostic outcome was similar among three groups. Old age, deep hematoma location, large hematoma volume, low preoperative GCS score, craniotomy, and intracranial infection were associated with greater odds of unfavorable outcomes. The mean hospitalization expenses were ¥92,420 in the endoscopy group, ¥77,351 in the aspiration group, and ¥100,947 in the craniotomy group (P = .000). CONCLUSIONS Compared with small bone flap craniotomy, endoscopic surgery and stereotactic aspiration improved the long-term outcome of hypertensive ICH, especially deep hemorrhages.

Abstract
Objective In patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the usage of microsurgical instrumentation and techniques can reduce traction-related injuries and enhance postoperative outcomes compared with traditional hematoma evacuation. The purpose of this study was to compare the results of endoscopic evacuation of spontaneous non-traumatic ICH with conventional open craniotomies and evacuations of ICH in terms of safety, feasibility, and neurological outcomes. Methods This was a prospective study that included 21 patients with spontaneous intracerebral hematomas managed by surgical evacuation endoscopically and another 24 patients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH who underwent hematoma evacuation by open craniotomy. Primary outcomes included operation duration, operative blood loss, hematoma evacuation rate, re-bleeding rate, and postoperative Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score. Results The median operation durations were 110 (90-200) and 230 (120-460) minutes in the endoscopic and open procedure groups, respectively (p = 0.00001). The median operative blood loss was 160 (80-300) and 530 (100-2000) mL in the endoscopic and open procedure groups, respectively (p < 0.00001). The median hematoma removal rates were 90% (60%-99%) and 85% (60%-100%) in the endoscopic and open procedure groups, respectively (p = 0.0348). Re-bleeding rates were higher in the endoscopic group (p = 0.46). Postoperative Glasgow Outcome Scale scores at two-month and six-month intervals were similar between the groups (p = 0.87). Conclusion Endoscopic hematoma evacuation for spontaneous supratentorial hemorrhage is becoming a standard surgical procedure, and promising clinical results can be expected. In addition, an endoscope can enhance time efficiency, hematoma evacuation rates, and reduce bleeding. Although endoscopic surgeries have higher re-bleeding rates, the difference is not significant when compared to open craniotomies with similar postoperative GCS scores. It is therefore important to be familiar with the endoscope and its associated equipment in order to achieve better results and reduce complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neuroendoscopy for treating hypertensive putamen hemorrhage (HPH), compared with traditional craniotomy. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 81 consecutive patients with HPH treated with neuroendoscopy (n=36) or craniotomy (n=45) in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Anhui Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University between January 2015 and December 2017. We compared the clinical and radiographic outcomes, excluded 14 patients who did not meet the inclusion criteria. Patient characteristics in emergency room were recorded. In addition, hospitalization days, total cost during hospitalization, operative time, blood loss, evacuation rate, rebreeding, intracranial infection, pulmonary infection, epilepsy, hemorrhage of digestive tract, venous thrombus, hypoproteinemia, aphasia, oculomotor paralysis, mortality, Modified Rankin Scale score 6 months after surgery, and Glasgow Outcome Scale score 6 months after surgery were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS Comparative analysis of preoperative patient data revealed no notable disparities. Neuroendoscopic surgery afford distinct benefits including reduced operative time, minimal patient blood loss, and enhanced efficacy in hematoma evacuation. However, the incidence of postoperative complications such as rebleeding, intracranial infections, pulmonary infections, postoperative epilepsy, hemorrhage of digestive tract, venous thrombus, hypoproteinemia, aphasia, and oculomotor paralysis did not significantly differ. In contrast, endoscopic techniques, relative to conventional craniotomy for hematoma evacuation, are characterized by less invasive incisions, a marked decrease in the duration of hospitalization, and a substantial reduction in associated healthcare costs. Furthermore, endoscopic techniques contribute to superior long-term recuperative outcomes in patients, without altering mortality rates. CONCLUSIONS In comparison to the conventional method of craniotomy, the utilization of neuroendoscopy in the treatment of hypertensive putamen hemorrhage (HPH) may offer a more efficacious, minimally invasive, and cost-effective approach. This alternative approach has the potential to decrease the length of hospital stays and improve long-term neurologic outcomes, without altering mortality rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroendoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure for clot evacuation in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) which may have advantages compared with open surgical evacuation procedures. The application of neuroendoscopy in ICH has attracted increasing attention in recent years. However, it remains unclear whether it could improve outcomes in patients with ICH. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation surgery compared with standard conservative treatment for spontaneous deep supratentorial cerebral hemorrhage. METHODS The Efficacy and safety of NeuroEndoscopic Surgery for IntraCerebral Hemorrhage (NESICH) Trial is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label, blinded-endpoint clinical trial. Up to 560 eligible subjects with acute deep supratentorial ICH will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation or standard conservative treatment at more than 30 qualified neurosurgery centers in China. OUTCOMES The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients with a good functional outcome (mRS score 0-3) in both groups at 180 days after onset. The main safety endpoints include all-cause mortality at 7, 30, and 180 days, rebleeding at 3, 7, and 30 days, and serious complications within 180 days. DISCUSSION NESICH will provide high-quality evidence for the efficacy and safety of neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation surgery in ICH patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05539859.

Abstract
Background Minimally invasive endoscopic and stereotactic surgery have been established as surgical treatments for putaminal hemorrhage. However, facilities that do not have equipment for endoscopic or stereotactic surgery will likely have to perform conventional craniotomy. Using a tubular retractor, we were able to perform minimally invasive surgery, such as endoscopic surgery. Methods A craniotomy was performed for left putaminal hemorrhage after cerebral infarction treatment. A 3-4 cm craniotomy centered at Kocher's point was performed under general anesthesia. A 2 cm incision was made in the cortex, and a tubular retractor was inserted under a microscope. The hematoma was reached at a position 4-5 cm from the cortex. Results Thanks to the tubular retractor, it was relatively easy to observe the hematoma, and it was possible to remove it and confirm hemostasis without difficulty. Brain injury caused by the retractor insertion cavity was small, and no hemostasis was required. The surgery was completed by dura mater closure, bone flap fixation, and wound closure as per the standard. Most of the putaminal hemorrhage could be removed, and there was no rebleeding after the operation. The patient is still undergoing rehabilitation because of aphasia and muscle weakness. Manual Muscle Testing was at three points in the upper limb, and four points in the lower limb remained. Conclusion For putaminal hemorrhage, microscopic craniotomy was performed using a tubular retractor and an approach such as endoscopic surgery. Craniotomy, hematoma removal, and hemostasis operations are also considered to be minimally invasive surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) has been associated with poor prognosis. The transsylvian insular approach (TIA) and the transcortical (TCA) approach are applied for patients with HICH. We aimed to compare the postoperative ICP parameters of TIA and TCA to identify which procedure yields better short-term outcomes in patients with basal ganglia hematoma volumes ranging from 30 to 50 mL. METHODS Eighty patients with basal ganglia hematomas 30-50 mL were enrolled in this study. Patients were implanted with ICP probes and divided into TIA and TCA groups according to the procedure. The ICP values were continuously recorded for five days at four-hour intervals. Short-term outcomes were evaluated using the length of hospitalization and postoperative consciousness recovery time. RESULTS No statistically significant differences were found in age, sex, GCS score at admission, hematoma volume, and hematoma clearance rate (p > 0.05). The results showed that postoperative initial ICP, ICP on the first postoperative day, mean ICP, DICP20 mmHg × 4 h, postoperative consciousness recovery time, the length of hospitalization, mannitol utilization rate and the mannitol dosage were lower in the TIA group than in the TCA group (p < 0.05). Postoperative consciousness recovery time was positively correlated with ICP on the first postoperative day, and the length of hospitalization was positively correlated with mean ICP. CONCLUSIONS TIA is more effective than TCA in improving the short-term outcomes of patients with basal ganglia hematoma volumes ranging from 30 to 50 mL according to comparisons of postoperative ICP parameters.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the application potential of 3D visualization technology based in emergency hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage surgery in primary hospitals. The specific goal is to use 3DSlicer software to perform 3D reconstruction and body surface projection on patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, provide accurate hematoma location information, help surgeons determine the specific location of hematoma on the body surface, and reduce the expansion of surgical incisions. METHODS 3D reconstruction technology based on 3DSlicer software was employed to process CT images of patients with cerebral hemorrhage. By segmenting and reconstructing the images, a 3D model of the hematoma was generated and projected onto the patient's body surface. Utilizing the functionalities of 3DSlicer software in conjunction with the surgeon's anatomical knowledge, accurate hematoma positioning on the body surface was achieved. RESULTS 23 patients were enrolled in this study, and underwent successful surgical evacuation. The implementation of 3D visualization technology using 3DSlicer software is expected to provide precise hematoma localization information for emergency hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage surgery in primary hospitals. This approach will enable surgeons to accurately determine the appropriate surgical incision, thereby minimizing unnecessary trauma and improving the overall success rate of surgery. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates the potential application of 3D visualization technology based on 3DSlicer software in emergency hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage surgery within primary hospitals. By utilizing 3DSlicer software for hematoma localization, accurate information support can be provided to assist surgeons in managing patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive evacuation may help ameliorate outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, hospital length of stay (LOS) post-evacuation is often long and costly. OBJECTIVE To examine factors associated with LOS in a large cohort of patients who underwent minimally invasive endoscopic evacuation. METHODS Patients presenting to a large health system with spontaneous supratentorial ICH qualified for minimally invasive endoscopic evacuation if they met the following inclusion criteria: age ≥18, premorbid modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≤3, hematoma volume ≥15 mL, and presenting National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥6. Demographic, clinical, radiographic, and operative characteristics were included in a multivariate logistic regression for hospital and ICU LOS dichotomized into short and prolonged stay at 14 and 7 days, respectively. RESULTS Among 226 patients who underwent minimally invasive endoscopic evacuation, the median intensive care unit and hospital LOS were 8 (4-15) days and 16 (9-27) days, respectively. A greater extent of functional impairment on presentation (OR per NIHSS point 1.10 (95% CI 1.04 to 1.17), P=0.007), concurrent intraventricular hemorrhage (OR=2.46 (1.25 to 4.86), P=0.02), and deep origin (OR=per point 2.42 (1.21 to 4.83), P=0.01) were associated with prolonged hospital LOS. A longer delay from ictus to evacuation (OR per hour 1.02 (1.01 to 1.04), P=0.007) and longer procedure time (OR per hour 1.91 (1.26 to 2.89), P=0.002) were associated with prolonged ICU LOS. Prolonged hospital and ICU LOS were in turn longitudinally associated with a lower rate of discharge to acute rehabilitation (40% vs 70%, P<0.0001) and worse 6-month mRS outcomes (5 (4-6) vs 3 (2-4), P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS We present factors associated with prolonged LOS, which in turn was associated with poor long-term outcomes. Factors associated with LOS may help to inform patient and clinician expectations of recovery, guide protocols for clinical trials, and select suitable populations for minimally invasive endoscopic evacuation.

Abstract
Studies regarding hematoma stiffness and removal difficulty are scarce. This study explored the association between hematoma stiffness and surgical results of endoscopic hematoma removal for intracerebral hemorrhage. It also aimed to clarify factors associated with hematoma stiffness. We classified intracerebral hematoma as either soft or firm stiffness by retrospectively evaluating operative videos by two neurosurgeons. The interobserver reliability of the classification was assessed by calculating the κ values. We investigated the relationship between hematoma stiffness and surgical results. Favorable hematoma removal (FHR) was defined as a residual hematoma volume of ≤15 mL or removal rate of ≥70%. Furthermore, we compared the background characteristics, imaging findings, and laboratory data between the two groups. Forty patients were included in this study. The mean baseline hematoma volume was 69.9 mL (range, 41.3-97.6 mL). FHR was accomplished in 35 cases (87.5%). Thirty-four patients (85%) were in the soft hematoma group (group S). Six patients (15%) were in the firm hematoma group (group F). Classification of hematoma stiffness demonstrated an excellent degree of interobserver agreement (κ score = 0.91). Patients in group S had a high FHR rate (p = 0.018) and short endoscopic procedure times (p = 0.00034). The island sign was present in group S (p = 0.030). Patients in group F had significantly high fibrinogen levels (p = 0.049) and low serum total calcium (p = 0.032), hemoglobin (p = 0.041), and hematocrit (p = 0.011) levels. Hematoma stiffness during endoscopic surgery for intracerebral hemorrhage correlates with surgical results, including the endoscopic procedure time and accomplishing rate of FHR.

The impact of time to evacuation on outcomes in endoscopic surgery for supratentorial spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage: a single-center retrospective study. Neurosurg Rev 2023; 47:2. [PMID: 38057420 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-023-02237-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
Supratentorial spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) can be treated with endoscopic surgery, but the optimal timing remains uncertain. We retrospectively analyzed data from 46 patients who underwent endoscopic surgery for supratentorial SICH. We examined the relationship between time to evacuation and functional outcome at 3 months, adjusting for prognostic factors. Surgical outcomes and complications were compared between patients with early (≤ 12 h) or late (> 12 h) evacuation. Median time to evacuation was 12 h, and the rate of unfavorable outcome (modified Rankin Scale > 3 at 3 months) was 32.6%. Longer time to evacuation was independently associated with unfavorable outcome (odds ratio per hour delay: 1.26). Late evacuation carried a 7.25-fold higher risk of unfavorable outcome compared to early evacuation. This association held across subgroups based on hematoma volume, location, and intraventricular extension (P for interaction > 0.05). Patients with late evacuation had fewer spot signs (24% vs. 4.8%, P = 0.035) and markers of hemorrhagic expansion (36% vs. 9.5%, P = 0.018), longer neurosurgical intensive care unit (NSICU) stay (3.2 vs. 1.9 days, P = 0.011) and hospital stay (15.7 vs. 11.9 days, P = 0.014), and higher 30-day mortality (28.6 vs. 4%, P = 0.036) and complication rates (57.1% vs. 28.0%, P = 0.023). This study suggests a potential association between early endoscopic evacuation of supratentorial SICH and improved functional outcomes, lower 30-day mortality and reduced complications. The need for timely intervention in managing supratentorial SICH is highlighted, yet further validation through multi-center prospective studies is essential to substantiate these findings and provide a higher level of evidence.

J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2023; 32:107327. [PMID: 37677895 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2023.107327] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2023] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the prognosis of late elderly patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) treated by endoscopic evacuation and craniotomy MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database, we identified patients aged ≥ 75 years who underwent surgery for spontaneous ICH within 48 hours after admission between April 2014 and March 2018. Eligible patients were classified into two groups according to the type of surgery (endoscopic surgery and craniotomy). Propensity-score matching weight analysis was conducted to compare the good neurological outcome modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score (0-4) at discharge as the primary endpoint between the two groups. Secondary endpoints were postoperative meningitis, tracheostomy, reoperation within 3 days and total hospitalization costs. RESULTS Among the 5,396 eligible patients, endoscopic surgery and craniotomy were performed in 895 and 4,501 patients, respectively. In the propensity-score matching weight analysis, all covariates were well balanced. The proportions of patients with a good prognosis (mRS score at discharge: 0-4) did not significantly differ between the surgical procedures (42.1% vs. 42.8%, p = 0.828). The proportions of meningitis, tracheostomy and reoperation were not significantly different between the two groups. Hospitalization costs were significantly higher in the craniotomy group than in the endoscopic surgery group (25,536 vs. 29,603 US dollars, p = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS Inhospital outcomes did not differ between endoscopic and open surgeries for spontaneous ICH in the late-stage elderly patients aged ≥75 years. Hospitalization costs were significantly higher in the craniotomy group, suggesting that endoscopic surgery may be more acceptable.

J Craniofac Surg 2023; 34:e724-e728. [PMID: 37271862 PMCID: PMC10597438 DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000009461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the perioperative indexes and long-term effects of craniotomy and neuro-endoscopic hematoma removal in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) in the basal ganglia region. METHODS This study involved 128 patients with HICH in the basal ganglia region who were admitted to our hospital from February 2020 to June 2022. They were divided into 2 groups according to the random number table method. The craniotomy group (n = 70) underwent microsurgery with small bone window craniotomy with a side cleft, and the neuro-endoscopy group (n = 58) underwent small bone window neuro-endoscopic surgery. A 3-dimensional Slicer was used to calculate the hematoma volume and clearance rate and the postoperative brain tissue edema volume. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative intracranial pressure, complications, mortality, and improvement in the modified Rankin scale score at 6 months postoperatively were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The clearance rate was significantly higher in the neuro-endoscopy group than in the craniotomy group (94.16% ± 1.86% versus 90.87% ± 1.89%, P < 0.0001). The operation time was significantly lower in the neuro-endoscopy group than in the craniotomy group (89.9 ± 11.7 versus 203.7 ± 57.6 min, P < 0.0001). Intraoperative blood loss was significantly higher in the craniotomy group (248.31 ± 94.65 versus 78.66 ± 28.96 mL, P < 0.0001). The postoperative length of stay in the intensive care unit was 12.6 days in the neuro-endoscopy group and 14.0 days in the craniotomy group with no significant difference ( P = 0.196). Intracranial pressure monitoring showed no significant difference between the two groups on postoperative days 1 and 7. Intracranial pressure was significantly higher in the craniotomy group than in the neuro-endoscopy group on postoperative day 3 (15.1 ± 6.8 versus 12.5 ± 6.8 mm Hg, P = 0.029). There was no significant difference in the mortality or outcome rate at 6 months postoperatively between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS In patients with HICH in the basal ganglia region, neuro-endoscopy can significantly improve the hematoma clearance rate, reduce intraoperative hemorrhage and postoperative cerebral tissue edema, and improve surgical efficiency. However, the long-term prognosis of patients who undergo craniotomy through the lateral fissure is similar to that of patients who undergo neuro-endoscopic surgery.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is one of the most lethal subtypes of stroke, associated with high morbidity and mortality. Prevention of hematoma growth and perihematomal edema expansion are promising therapeutic targets currently under investigation. Despite recent improvements in the management of ICH, the ideal treatments are still to be determined. Early stratification and triage of ICH patients enable the adjustment of the standard of care in keeping with the personalized medicine principles. In recent years, research efforts have been concentrated on the development and validation of blood-based biomarkers. The benefit of looking for blood candidate markers is obvious because of their acceptance in terms of sample collection by the general population compared to any other body fluid. Given their ease of accessibility in clinical practice, blood-based biomarkers have been widely used as potential diagnostic, predictive, and prognostic markers. This review identifies some relevant and potentially promising blood biomarkers for ICH. These blood-based markers are summarized by their roles in clinical practice. Well-designed and large-scale studies are required to validate the use of all these biomarkers in the future.

Abstract
Background Given that limited reports have described the survival and risk factors for elderly patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH), we aimed to develop a valid but simple prediction nomogram for the survival of HICH patients. Methods All elderly patients ≥65 years old who were diagnosed with HICH between January 2011 and December 2019 were identified. We performed the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) on the Cox regression model with the R package glmnet. A concordance index was performed to calculate the nomogram discrimination; and calibration curves and decision curves were graphically evaluated by depicting the observed rates against the probabilities predicted by the nomogram. Results A total of 204 eligible patients were analyzed, and over 20 % of the population was above the age of 80 (65-79 years old, n = 161; 80+ years old, n = 43). A hematoma volume ≥13.64 cm3 was associated with higher 7-day mortality (OR = 6.773, 95 % CI = 2.622-19.481; p < 0.001) and higher 90-day mortality (OR = 3.955, 95 % CI = 1.611-10.090, p = 0.003). A GCS score between 13 and 15 at admission was associated with a 7-day favorable outcome (OR = 0.025, 95 % CI = 0.005-0.086; p < 0.001) and a 90-day favorable outcome (OR = 0.033, 95 % CI = 0.010-0.099; p < 0.001). Conclusions Our nomogram models were visualized and accurate. Neurosurgeons could use them to assess the prognostic factors and provide advice to patients and their relatives.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the prognosis of patients with spontaneous basal ganglia intracerebral hematoma treated by endoscopic evacuation, craniotomy, or puncture aspiration. METHODS This retrospective observational study included information from patients with basal ganglia hematoma who received craniotomy, endoscopic evacuation, or puncture aspiration in the Department of Neurosurgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of USTC between January 2016 and May 2021. Patients were grouped according to their treatment method for comparison. RESULTS From a total of 184 patients, 62 cases (51 males, aged 54.44 ± 9.92 years) received craniotomy, 64 cases (45 males, aged 53.97 ± 11.87 years) received endoscopic evacuation, and 58 cases (43 males, aged 54.25 ± 10.35 years) received puncture aspiration. No significant difference was found in baseline characteristics among three surgical procedures. Patients in the endoscopy group had the shortest hospital stay (15.16 ± 4.89 days vs. 17.88 ± 5.97 and 20.77 ± 6.96 days), lowest infectious meningitis [1(1.6 %) vs. 2(3.4%) and 8(12.9%)] and pulmonary infection [3(4.7%) vs. 5(8.6%) and 13(21.0%)] rates, and highest hematoma removal rate (90.39 ± 5.22% vs. 35.87 ± 6.23 and 84.76 ± 4.91%) and Glasgow outcome scale 6 months after surgery (4.41 ± 0.53 vs. 3.74 ± 1.09 and 3.81 ± 1.03). The occurrence of gastrointestinal bleeding, epilepsy, and mortality were similar (all p > 0.05) among the groups. CONCLUSION Patients with spontaneous basal ganglia intracerebral hematoma who received endoscopic evacuation might have better prognosis than those treated with craniotomy or puncture aspiration. In future, endoscopic surgery could become the most common method for treating spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhages.

Abstract
Background Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage combined with cerebral hernia (HIH-CH) is a serious condition. Neuroendoscopy can effectively remove intracranial hematoma, but there is no relevant research support for its utility in patients with HIH-CH. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of neuroendoscopy in patients with HIH-CH. Methods Patients with HIH-CH who received craniotomy or neuroendoscopy treatment were included. The patients were divided into craniotomy (CHE) group and neuroendoscopy (NEHE) group. Clinical data and follow-up outcome of the two groups were collected. The primary outcome was hematoma clearance. Results The hematoma clearance rate (%) of patients in NEHE group was 97.65 (92.75, 100.00), and that of patients in CHE group was 95.00 (90.00, 100.00), p > 0.05. The operation time and intraoperative bleeding volume of patients in NEHE group were significantly less than those in CHE group (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the volume of residual hematoma and the incidence of rebleeding between the two groups (p > 0.05). The length of stay in ICU in NEHE group was significantly shorter than that in CHE group (p < 0.05). Conclusion Neuroendoscopy can safely and effectively remove the intracranial hematoma in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage and cerebral hernia, significantly shorten the operation time, reduce the amount of intraoperative hemorrhage, shorten the ICU stay.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and summarize the technical characteristics and clinical efficacy of using Dyna-computed tomography (CT)-assisted neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation to treat hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH). We treated 42 consecutive patients with HICH who underwent neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation in our department from March 1, 2020, to May 31, 2022. Patients were divided into two groups: Dyna-CT-assisted neuroendoscopic group (n = 18) and neuroendoscopic group (n = 24). Retrospective data, treatment efficacy, and outcomes were collected and compared between these two groups. The operative time in the Dyna-CT-assisted neuroendoscopic group was significantly shorter than the operative time in the neuroendoscopic group (mean time 131.6 ± 13.51 vs. 156.6 ± 19.25 min, P < 0.001). Dyna-CT-assisted neuroendoscopic group had significantly less intraoperative blood loss than the neuroendoscopic group (46.94 ± 10.42 vs. 106.46 ± 23.25, P = 0.003). Meanwhile, patients who underwent Dyna-CT-assisted neuroendoscopic had a comparable hematoma clearance rate to those who underwent neuroendoscopic (89.36 ± 7.31 vs. 68.87 ± 19.44%, P = 0.006). The incidence of complications in the Dyna-CT-assisted neuroendoscopic group (5.5%) was lower than in the neuroendoscopic group (12.5%), but the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.129). Patients who underwent Dyna-CT-assisted neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation had better 6-month functional outcomes, and the difference was significant (P = 0.004). Furthermore, multivariable analysis showed that younger age, smaller hematoma volume, and Dyna-CT-assisted neuroendoscopic were predictors of favorable 6-month outcomes in HICH patients. In the treatment of HICH, Dyna-CT-assisted hematoma evacuation appears to be safer and more effective than neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation. Dyna-CT-assisted neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation in hybrid operating rooms may improve the clinical effect and outcomes of patients with HICH.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a stroke subtype with high mortality and disability, and there are no proven medical treatments that can improve the functional outcome of ICH patients. Robot-assisted neurosurgery is a significant advancement in the development of minimally invasive surgery for ICH. This review encompasses the latest advances and future directions of surgical robots for ICH. First, three robotic systems for neurosurgery applied to ICH are illustrated. Second, the key technologies of robot-assisted surgery for ICH are introduced in aspects of stereotactic technique and navigation, the puncture instrument, and hematoma evacuation. Finally, the limitations of current surgical robots are summarized, and the possible development direction is discussed, which is named "multisensor fusion and intelligent aspiration control of minimally invasive surgical robot for ICH". It is expected that the new generation of surgical robots for ICH will facilitate quantitative, precise, individualized, standardized treatment strategies for ICH.

Reed LK, Ajala RT, Lyon KA, Benardete EA. Quamdiu? Time to proficiency in endoscope-assisted minimally invasive clot evacuation. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2023; 231:107817. [PMID: 37302379 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2023.107817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Spontaneous intraparenchymal brain hemorrhages are a devastating disease associated with significant disability or death. Minimally invasive clot evacuation (MICE) techniques can reduce mortality. We reviewed our experience with learning endoscope-assisted MICE to determine whether adequate results could be obtained in less than 10 cases. METHODS We performed a retrospective chart review of patients undergoing endoscope-assisted MICE at a single institution by a single surgeon from January 1, 2018 to January 1, 2023 using a neuro-endoscope, a commercial clot evacuation device, and frameless stereotaxis. Demographic data was collected along with surgical results and complications. Image analysis using software determined the degree of clot removal. Hospital length of stay and functional outcomes were assessed using the Glasgow Coma Scale score (GCS) and Glasgow Outcome Score (extended) (GOS-E). RESULTS Eleven patients were identified: average age 60.82 years old, 64 % male, all had hypertension. There was a clear improvement in IPH evacuation over the series. By case #7, greater than 80 % of clot volume was evacuated consistently. All patients remained neurologically stable or improved following surgery. In long-term follow-up, four patients (36.4 %) had good outcomes (GOS-E ≥ 6) and 2 patients had fair outcomes (GOS-E = 4) (18 %). There were no surgical mortalities, re-hemorrhages, or infections. CONCLUSIONS With an experience of less than 10 cases, it is possible to obtain results comparable to most published series of endoscope-assisted MICE. Benchmarks such as greater than 80 % volume removal, less than 15 mL residual, and 40 % good functional outcomes can be obtained.

Treatment outcomes between endoscopic surgery and conventional craniotomy for spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage: a randomized controlled trial. Neurosurg Rev 2023; 46:136. [PMID: 37278839 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-023-02035-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been repeatedly evaluated in patients with ICH as a promising procedure for improved survival and functional outcome. Among MIS techniques, endoscopic surgery (ES) has shown superior efficacy for ICH removal due to rapid clot evacuation and immediate bleeding control. However, the results of ES are still uncertain due to insufficient data. In this study, participants with spontaneous supratentorial ICH who were indicated for surgery were randomly assigned (1:1) to undergo ES or conventional craniotomy (CC) between March 2019 and June 2022. The primary outcome was a difference in favorable modified Rankin Scale (mRS) outcome (0 to 3) at 180-day follow-up evaluated by blind assessors. There were 188 participants, 95 in the ES group and 93 in the CC group, who completed the trial. At 180-day follow-up, 46 (48.4%) participants in the ES group achieved favorable outcomes, compared to 33 (35.5%) in the CC group (risk difference [RD] 12.9, 95% CI - 1.1-27.0, p = 0.07). After covariate adjustment, the difference was slightly higher and significant (adjusted RD 17.3, 95% CI [4.6-30.0], p = 0.01). Moreover, the ES group had less operative duration and less intraoperative blood loss than the CC group. Clot evacuation rate and complications were similar between the two groups. Subgroup analyses showed a potential benefit of ES in age < 60 years, time to surgery ≥ 6 h, and deep ICH. This study showed that ES was safe and effective in ICH removal and provided a better functional outcome compared to CC.

Outcomes After Endoscopic Evacuation Versus Evacuation Using Craniotomy or Stereotactic Aspiration for Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Analysis Using a Japanese Nationwide Database. Neurocrit Care 2023; 38:667-675. [PMID: 36348138 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-022-01634-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2022] [Accepted: 10/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Various surgical methods are available for managing large intracerebral hemorrhage. This study compared the prognosis of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage who underwent endoscopic evacuation, stereotactic aspiration, and craniotomy by using a nationwide inpatient database in Japan. METHODS Using the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database, we identified patients who underwent surgery for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage within 48 h after admission between April 2014 and March 2018. Eligible patients were classified into three groups according to the type of surgery (endoscopic surgery, stereotactic surgery, and craniotomy). Propensity score matching weight analysis was conducted to compare poor modified Rankin Scale score at discharge (severe disability or death) and hospitalization cost among the groups. RESULTS Among 17,860 eligible patients, craniotomy, stereotactic surgery, and endoscopic surgery were performed in 14,354, 474, and 3,032 patients, respectively. In the matching weight analysis, all covariates were well balanced. Compared with the endoscopic surgery group, the proportion of poor prognosis (modified Rankin Scale score at discharge of 5 or 6) was significantly higher in craniotomy groups (odds ratio 2.51, 95% confidence interval 1.11-5.68; p = 0.028). Subgroup analysis based on hemorrhage location and consciousness level at the time of admission showed no significant difference between the surgical procedures. Hospitalization costs were significantly higher in the craniotomy group than in the endoscopic surgery group (difference US $9,724, 95% confidence interval 2,169-17,259; p = 0.011). CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic surgery for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage was associated with improved prognosis compared with craniotomy at the hospital discharge. Future large-scale clinical trials are needed to evaluate the optimal surgical techniques for intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of stereotactic minimally invasive puncture with different catheter placement positions when combined with urokinase thrombolysis for the treatment of small- and medium-volume basal ganglia hemorrhage. Our goal was to identify the best minimally invasive catheter placement position to enhance therapeutic efficacy for patients with cerebral hemorrhage. Methods The stereotactic minimally invasive thrombolysis at different catheter positions in the treatment of small- and medium-volume basal ganglia hemorrhage (SMITDCPI) was a randomized, controlled, and endpoint phase 1 trial. We recruited patients with spontaneous ganglia hemorrhage (medium-to-small and medium volume) who were treated in our hospital. All patients received stereotactic, minimally invasive punctures combined with an intracavitary thrombolytic injection of urokinase hematoma. A randomized number table method was used to divide the patients into two groups concerning the location of catheterization: a penetrating hematoma long-axis group and a hematoma center group. The general conditions of the two groups of patients were compared, and the data were analyzed, including the time of catheterization, the dosage of urokinase, the amount of residual hematoma, the hematoma clearance rate, complications, and the National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) score data at 1 month after surgery. Results Between June 2019 and March 2022, 83 patients were randomly recruited and assigned to the two groups as follows: 42 cases (50.60%) to the penetrating hematoma long-axis group and 41 cases (49.40%) to the hematoma center group. Compared with the hematoma center group, the long-axis group was associated with a significantly shorter catheterization time, a lower urokinase dose, a lower residual hematoma volume, a higher hematoma clearance rate, and fewer complications (P < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of the NIHSS scores when tested 1 month after surgery (P > 0.05). Conclusion Stereotactic minimally invasive puncture combined with urokinase for the treatment of small- and medium-volume hemorrhage in the basal ganglia, including catheterization through the long axis of the hematoma, led to significantly better drainage effects and fewer complications. However, there was no significant difference in short-term NIHSS scores between the two types of catheterization.

Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG) is a cyanine dye useful for visualizing blood vessels; it has been developed for endoscopy and is used in skull base surgery. Endoscopy is widely used for hematoma removal after an intracerebral hemorrhage since it is minimally invasive and has a shorter operation time than craniotomy. However, with this technique the surgical field is limited and it is difficult to obtain an adequate orientation; thus, it is challenging to locate the bleeding point, and postoperative rebleeding has been reported. We performed intraoperative ICG near-infrared fluorescence imaging to locate the bleeding point. This purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of ICG angiography during endoscopic hematoma removal in two patients, using two endoscope types and comparing their visualization of perforating branches during the procedure. ICG angiography was performed in two different cases of putaminal hemorrhage, using the SPIES NIR/ICG-System and IMAGE1 S Rubina (both KARL STORZ, Tuttlingen, Germany) at the intraoperative bleeding site. The intraoperative use of ICG allowed the clear visualization of the perforating branches and real-time confirmation of active bleeding. We could also distinguish an old hematoma from the active bleeding point. The IMAGE1 S Rubina has adequate brightness for contrast enhancement, allowing surgical manipulation simultaneously to the enhancement phase.ICG fluorescence angiography is useful to identify the damaged vessel and perform hemostasis. We expect other similar devices to be developed in the future, accompanied by flexible and thin rigid endoscopes.

Abstract
Introduction Treatment for spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral haemorrhage (SSICH) is limited and consist of either best medical treatment (BMT) or surgical hematoma evacuation. Treatment methods and choice of surgical technique are debated, and so far, no clear advantage of endoscopic surgery (ES) over conventional craniotomy (CC) or BMT was shown. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the differences in outcome, morbidity, and mortality between ES and CC or BMT. Methods We systematically searched Embase and PubMed databases for randomised controlled trials comparing ES to CC or BMT. The primary outcome was favourable functional outcome after 6 months. Secondary outcomes were morbidity and mortality rates and duration of surgery. Results Seven articles were eligible for the outcome analysis with 312 subjects in the control (216 CC, 96 BMT) and 279 in the treatment group (ES). Compared to BMT, ES showed significantly improved favourable functional outcome (RR 1.93 [1.12; 3.33], p = 0.02) and mortality rates (RR 0.63 [0.44; 0.90], p = 0.01). No significant difference in favourable functional outcome and mortality was seen in ES compared to CC (RR 2.13 [0.01; 737], p = 0.35; RR 0.42 [0.17; 1.05], p = 0.06). ES showed significantly lower morbidity (RR 0.41 [0.29; 0.58], p < 0.01), and overall infection rates (RR 0.33 [0.20; 0.54], p < 0.01) compared to CC. Duration of surgery was significantly shorter for ES compared to CC (SMD -3.17 [-4.35; -2.00], p < 0.01). Conclusion ES showed significantly improved favourable functional outcome and mortality rates compared to BMT while showing reduced length of surgery and lower complication rates compared to CC. Therefore, ES appears a promising approach for treatment of SSICH justifying further prospective trials. Systematic review registration PROSPERO, identifier: CRD42020181018.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Irregular hematoma is considered as a risk sign of hematoma expansion. The aim of this study was to quantify hematoma irregularity with computed tomography based on 3D Slicer. METHODS Patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage who underwent an initial and subsequent non-contrast computed tomography (CT) at a single medical center between January 2019 to January 2020 were retrospectively identified. The Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) standard images were loaded into the 3D Slicer, and the surface area (S) and volume (V) of hematoma were calculated. The hematoma irregularity index (HII) was defined as [Formula: see text]. Logistic regression analyses and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed to assess predictive performance of HII. RESULTS The enrolled patients were divided into those with hematoma enlargement (n = 36) and those without the enlargement (n = 57). HII in hematoma expansion group was 130.4 (125.1-140.0), and the index in non-enlarged hematoma group was 118.6 (113.5-122.3). There was significant difference in HII between the two groups (P < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the HII was significantly associated with hematoma expansion before (odds ratio = 1.203, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.115-1.298; P < 0.001) and after adjustment for age, hematoma volume, Glasgow Coma Scale score (odds ratio = 1.196, 95% CI, 1.102-1.298, P < 0.001). The area under the ROC curve was 0.86 (CI, 0.78-0.93, P < 0.01), and the best cutoff of HII for predicting hematoma growth was 123.8. CONCLUSION As a quantitative indicator of irregular hematoma, HII can be calculated using the 3D Slicer. And the HII was independently correlated with hematoma expansion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) has high morbidity and mortality, with no clear standard of treatment available. Compared with the craniotomy approach, neuroendoscopy is a relatively minimally invasive treatment method, and may be an efficient alternative. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of neuroendoscopy and craniotomy in SICH patients. METHODS The electronic databases Web of Science, PubMed, EmBase, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched. According to the PRISMA template, we finally selected and analyzed 14 eligible studies that evaluated neuroendoscopy versus craniotomy. Primary outcomes included operation time, intraoperative blood loss volume, evacuation rate, residual hematoma, complications, hospital stay duration, clinical outcomes, and other parameters. RESULTS A total of 4 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 10 retrospective studies (non-RCTs) involving 1652 patients were included in the final analysis. In the neuroendoscopy (NE) group, operation time (p < 0.00001), intraoperative blood loss volume (p < 0.0001), hematoma evacuation rate (p = 0.0002), complications (p < 0.00001), hospitalization days (p = 0.004), and mortality (p < 0.0001) were significantly different from those of the craniotomy (C) group, with a higher rate of good recovery compared with the craniotomy group (P < 0.00001). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that patients with SICH and physicians may benefit more from neuroendoscopic surgery than craniotomy.

Abstract
Background and objectiveDiffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) hyperintensities were occasionally seen at previous hematoma in patients several months after intracerebral hemorrhage with surgery. Whether they are newly occurred clinical situations or post-surgery changes is unknown. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and possible mechanisms for this phenomenon.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the MRI database for intracerebral hemorrhage with surgery after 3 months of disease onset in our hospital. We also prospectively performed repeated multimodal MRI scans for two patients at the chronic stage after surgery for intracerebral hemorrhage.ResultsWe found that 14 out of 23 patients (60.9%) had DWI hyperintensities at the site of previous hematoma 3 months after intracerebral hemorrhage with surgery. All the DWI lesions were hyperintense on T1- and T2-weighted imaging, most of which appeared long and narrow in shape. The DWI lesions were usually located adjacent to the thin wall of the previous hematoma cavity close to the lateral ventricle. They were more associated with the basal ganglia hemorrhage than with the lobar hemorrhage (P = 0.02) and were more frequently seen for those with intraventricular hemorrhage than without (P = 0.02). Prospectively repeated MRI exams of two patients revealed unchanged DWI hyperintensity during the 18- and 2-month follow-up, respectively.ConclusionThe DWI lesions at previous hematoma were commonly seen in patients after surgery for intracerebral hemorrhage at the chronic stage which would persist for years. We hypothesized a possible mechanism by which extracellular methemoglobin “islands” are formed with delayed or no absorption by macrophages from adjacent thin residual brain tissue. Unnecessary further examinations and treatment would be avoided by realizing this imaging phenomenon.

Abstract
ObjectiveTo validate the clinical reliability of an individualized CT image-guided‘ free-hand catheter technique (CTGFC) for basal ganglia hematoma (BGH) evacuation.MethodsFrom January 2017 to December 2020, 58 cases of patients with BGH who underwent catheter evacuation were enrolled. The surgery was conducted using the CTGFC (n = 31) or stereotactic catheter technique (STC, n = 27). The authors evaluated the baseline characteristics, operation-related indicators, postoperative complications, hospitalization-related indicators, short-term and long-term functional outcomes, and mortality rate 1 year after surgery.ResultsAll patients underwent BGH evacuation under non-general anesthesia in the CTGFC group. The operative time (p < 0.01) and operation costs (p < 0.05) were significantly shorter in the CTGFC group than that in the STC group (p < 0.01). Comparable results were found in the catheter indwelling duration, residual hematoma volume, hematoma evacuation rate, incidence of postoperative complications, hospital ICU stay, and hospital costs between these two groups (p > 0.05). The duration of hospital stay was remarkably shorter in the CTGFC group than that in the STC group (p < 0.01). There were no differences in terms of the short-time functional outcomes score at discharge, including the Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) score, the activities of daily living (ADL) score, and the Karnofsky performance score (KPS). Moreover, comparable findings were also found in the 1-year postoperative GOS score, ADL score, KPS score, and mortality rate between these two groups.ConclusionThe simple CTGFC-assisted surgery was a safe and reliable option for BGH evacuation, especially in primary medical institutes and emergency situations with limited medical resources.

Conventional craniotomy versus conservative treatment in patients with minor spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in the basal ganglia. Chin Neurosurg J 2022; 8:26. [PMID: 35986426 PMCID: PMC9389702 DOI: 10.1186/s41016-022-00288-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2020] [Accepted: 07/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The treatment for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is still controversial, especially for hematomas in the basal ganglia. A retrospective case-control study with propensity score matching was performed to compare the outcomes of conventional craniotomy and conservative treatment for patients with minor ICH in the basal ganglia. Methods We retrospectively collected the data of consecutive patients with minor basal ganglia hemorrhage from January 2018 to August 2019. We compared clinical outcomes of two groups using propensity score matching. The extended Glasgow outcome scale obtained by phone interviews based on questionnaires at a 12-month follow-up was used as the primary outcome measure. According to a previous prognosis algorithm, patients were divided into good and poor prognosis groups to obtain a dichotomized (favorable or unfavorable) outcome as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included hospitalized complications, mortality, and modified Rankin score at 12 months. Results A total of 54 patients were analyzed, and the baseline characteristics of patients in the surgery and conservative treatment groups were well matched. The primary favorable outcome at 12 months was significantly higher in the conservative treatment group than in the surgery group (81% vs 44%; OR 1.833, 95% CI 1.159–2.900; P=0.005). The incidence of pneumonia in the surgery group was significantly higher than that in the conservative treatment group (P=0.005). Conclusions It is not recommended to undertake conventional craniotomy for patients with a minor hematoma (25–40 ml) in the basal ganglia. An open craniotomy might induce worse long-term functional outcomes than the conservative treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Minimally invasive surgery for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has become increasingly popular in recent years. However, there are no reports on the recent trends in surgical procedures for spontaneous ICH. To investigate current trends in surgical methods for spontaneous ICH using a nationwide inpatient database from Japan. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent surgery for spontaneous ICH between April 2014 and March 2018 were identified in a nationwide inpatient database from Japan. We examined patient characteristics, diagnoses, types of surgery, complications, and discharge status. RESULTS We identified 21,129 inpatients who underwent surgery for spontaneous ICH. The procedures were as follows: 16,256 (76.9%) transcranial hemorrhage evacuations, 3722 (17.6%) endoscopic hemorrhage evacuations, and 1151 (5.4%) stereotactic aspirations of hemorrhage. Patients tended to receive transcranial hemorrhage evacuations in hospitals with fewer surgical cases. The proportions of endoscopic hemorrhage evacuations increased annually, whereas those of stereotactic surgery decreased. The proportions of transcranial surgery remained almost unchanged. Tracheostomy and hospitalization costs were lower in the stereotactic aspirations of hemorrhage group, and the proportions of reoperation were higher in the endoscopic hemorrhage evacuations group. CONCLUSIONS The use of endoscopic surgery for spontaneous ICH has increased in Japan. This study can form the basis of future clinical investigations into spontaneous ICH surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare outcomes in neuroendoscopic-assisted vs mini-open craniotomy for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH), so as to provide reasonable surgical treatment. METHODS Clinical data of 184 patients with HICH in the hospital from January 2019 to May 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into mini-open craniotomy group and neuroendoscopic-assisted group. The operation time, hematoma clearance rate, intraoperative blood loss, neurological function recovery, and postoperative mortality of the two groups were compared by retrospective analysis. RESULTS The operation time and intraoperative blood loss in the mini-open craniotomy group were more than those in the neuroendoscopic-assisted group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups. There was no significant difference in hematoma clearance rate between the two groups, but for the rugby hematoma, the hematoma clearance rate in the neuroendoscopic-assisted group was higher than in the mini-open craniotomy group, the difference was statistically significant. Within 1 month after the operation, there was no significant difference in mortality between the two groups. 6 months after the operation, there was no significant difference in the recovery of neurological function between the two groups. CONCLUSION Neuroendoscopic-assisted and mini-open craniotomy for the treatment of HICH has the advantages of minimal trauma with good effects, and its main reason for short operation time, reduced bleeding, and high hematoma clearance rate. Although the two surgical methods can improve the survival rate of patients, they do not change the prognosis of patients. Therefore, the choice of surgical methods should be adopted based on the patient's clinical manifestations, hematoma volume, hematoma type, and the experience of the surgeon.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage is characterized by a high rate of morbidity, mortality, disability and recurrence. Neuroendoscopy has been utilized for treatment as an advanced technology. However, traditional neuroendoscopy allows professionals to see only tissue surfaces, and the field of vision is limited, which cannot provide spatial guidance. In this study, an AR-based neuroendoscopic navigation system is proposed to assist surgeons in locating and clearing hematoma. METHODS The neuroendoscope can be registered through the vector closed loop algorithm. The single-shot method is designed to register medical images with patients precisely. Real-time AR is realized based on video stream fusion. Dual-mode AR navigation is proposed to provide comprehensive guidance from catheter implantation to hematoma removal. A series of experiments is designed to validate the accuracy and significance of this system. RESULTS The average root mean square error of the registration between medical images and patients is 0.784 mm, and the variance is 0.1426 mm. The pixel mismatching degrees are less than 1% in different AR modes. In catheter implantation experiments, the average error of distance is 1.28 mm, and the variance is 0.43 mm, while the average error of angles is 1.34°, and the variance is 0.45°. Comparative experiments are also conducted to evaluate the feasibility of this system. CONCLUSION This system can provide stereo images with depth information fused with patients to guide surgeons to locate targets and remove hematoma. It has been validated to have high accuracy and feasibility.

Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the clinical distribution and drug resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae pulmonary infection in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage after minimally invasive surgery. Methods: A total of 658 patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage who underwent minimally invasive surgery admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and the Department of Neurology of Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University from January 2015 to January 2020 were enrolled and divided into two groups: the observation group and the control group. Three hundred and thirty-three cases with postoperative pulmonary infection were included into the observation group, and 325 cases without postoperative pulmonary infection were divided into the control group. The intubation time, neurological deficiency score and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Automatic microbial identification system was utilized to isolate bacteria from patients in the observation group, identify Klebsiella pneumoniae, and analyze Klebsiella pneumoniae infection, clinical department distribution, and age distribution. The Kirby-Bauer method was adopted to carry out the drug susceptibility test of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection. Results: The intubation time and neurological deficiency score of patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p<0.05), while the GCS score was significantly lower than that in the control group (p<0.05). A total of 403 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from 325 patients in the observation group, of which 52 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae were detected in 52 patients with postoperative pulmonary infection, accounting for 12.90%. The detection rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae in ICU and neurology department were 53.85% and 46.15%, respectively. Klebsiella pneumoniae had the highest detection rate (40.38%) in people aged 70 years and above. Moreover, fifty-two strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae showed low drug resistance rate (<20%) to cefoperazone/sulbactam, piperacillin/tazobactam, cefoxitin, imipenem, meropenem, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin. Conclusion: For patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage who have pulmonary infection after minimally invasive surgery, risk factors causing infection should be identified in time, their Klebsiella pneumoniae infection should be correctly monitored, and antibiotics should be taken rationally to effectively promote the elimination of brain edema in patients and protect the cranial nerve function of patients.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation combined intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring for the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH). Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 53 patients with HICH undergoing neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation in our department from January 2016 to December 2020 was performed. We divided the patients into two groups: the neuroendoscopic group (n = 32) and the robot-assisted neuroendoscopic combined ICP monitoring group (n = 21). Data on clinical characteristics, treatment effects, and outcomes were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed between these two groups. Results: The operation time of the procedure of the neuroendoscopic group was significantly longer than that of the robot-assisted neuroendoscopic combined ICP-monitoring group (mean time 153.8 ± 16.8 vs. 132.8 ± 15.7 min, P < 0.001). The intraoperative blood loss was significantly less in the robot-assisted neuroendoscopic combined ICP-monitoring group than in the neuroendoscopic group (215.4 ± 28.3 vs. 190.1 ± 25.6 ml, P = 0.001). However, the patients undergoing neuroendoscopic had a comparable hematoma clearance rate with those undergoing robot-assisted neuroendoscopic combined ICP monitoring (85.2 ± 4.8 vs. 89.2 ± 5.4%, P = 0.997). The complications rate was greater in the endoscopic group (25%) than in the robot-assisted neuroendoscopic combined ICP-monitoring group (9.5%) but without significant difference (P = 0.159). We also found that the dose of used mannitol was significantly less in the ICP monitoring group (615.2 ± 63.8 vs. 547.8 ± 65.3 ml, P < 0.001) and there was a significant difference in modified Rankin scale (mRS) score at discharge, patients with less mRS score in the robot-assisted neuroendoscopic combined ICP monitoring group than in the neuroendoscopic group (3.0 ± 1.0 vs. 3.8 ± 0.8, p = 0.011). Patients undergoing robot-assisted neuroendoscopic combined ICP monitoring had better 6-month functional outcomes, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.004). Besides, multivariable analysis shows younger age, no complication, and robot-assisted neuroendoscopic combined ICP monitoring were predictors of 6-month favorable outcomes for the patients with HICH. Conclusion: Robot-assisted neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation combined with ICP monitoring appears to be safer and more effective as compared to the neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation in the treatment of HICH. Robot-assisted neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation combined with ICP monitoring might improve the clinical effect and treatment outcomes of the patients with HICH.

Abstract
Background and Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of thromboelastography with platelet mapping (TEG-PM) for predicting hematoma expansion (HE) and poor functional outcome in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods: Patients with primary ICH who underwent baseline computed tomography (CT) and TEG-PM within 6 h after symptom onset were enrolled in the observational cohort study. We performed univariate and multivariate logistic regression models to assess the association of admission platelet function with HE and functional outcome. In addition, a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis investigated the accuracy of platelet function in predicting HE. A mediation analysis was undertaken to determine causal associations among platelet function, HE, and outcome. Results: Of 142 patients, 37 (26.1%) suffered HE. Multivariate logistic regression identified arachidonic acid (AA) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) inhibition as significant independent predictors of HE. The area under the ROC curves was 0.727 for AA inhibition and 0.721 for ADP inhibition. Optimal threshold for AA inhibition was 41.75% (75.7% sensitivity; 67.6% specificity) and ADP inhibition was 65.8% (73.0% sensitivity; 66.7% specificity). AA and ADP inhibition were also associated with worse 3-month outcomes after adjusting for age, admission Glasgow Coma Scale score, intraventricular hemorrhage, baseline hematoma volume, and hemoglobin. The mediation analysis showed that the effect of higher platelet inhibition with poor outcomes was mediated through HE. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the reduced platelet response to ADP and AA independently predict HE and poor outcome in patients with ICH. Platelet function may represent a modifiable target of ICH treatment.

Four Hands Surgery for Intracerebral Hemorrhage using Orbeye: Educational Values and Ergonomic Advantages - A Technical Note. Asian J Neurosurg 2021; 16:634-637.

Abstract
We have developed a new educational approach to microsurgery in which a trainee and supervisor can cooperate with “4 hands” using the exoscope. We evaluated 4-hands surgery for intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) using the exoscope to validate the educational value and ergonomic advantages of this method. Thirty consecutive patients who underwent surgery for ICH using the exoscope between December 2018 and May 2020 were studied retrospectively. All operations were performed by a team comprising a supervisor (assistant) and a trainee (main operator). The assistant set the visual axis of the exoscope, and adjusted focus and magnification as a scopist. After setting the ORBEYE, the supervisor helped retract the brain and withdraw and irrigate the hematoma using suction tubes or brain retractors. Moreover, the trainee evacuated the hematoma with a suction tube and coagulated using bipolar forceps. Patient background and results of treatment were evaluated. Intraoperative postures of the operators were observed, and schemas compared with the use of a conventional microscope were developed. All microsurgical procedures were accomplished by a trainee with a supervisor using only the exoscope. During the surgery, the surgeons could work in a comfortable posture, and the supervisor and trainee could cooperate in microsurgical procedures using their four hands. The results of the present case series concerning evacuation of ICH were not inferior to those described in previous reports. To increase opportunities for education in microsurgery, 4-hands surgery for ICH using the exoscope appears feasible and safe and offered excellent educational value and ergonomic advantages.

World J Clin Cases 2021; 9:8358-8365. [PMID: 34754845 PMCID: PMC8554417 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v9.i28.8358] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2021] [Revised: 07/02/2021] [Accepted: 08/05/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage is a common critical disease of the nervous system, comprising one fifth of all acute cerebrovascular diseases and has a high disability and mortality rate. It severely affects the patients’ quality of life.
AIM To analyze the short-term effect and long-term prognosis of neuroendoscopic minimally invasive surgery for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.
METHODS From March 2018 to May 2020, 118 patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage were enrolled in our study and divided into a control group and observation group according to the surgical plan. The control group used a hard-channel minimally invasive puncture and drainage procedure. The observation group underwent minimally invasive neuroendoscopic surgery. The changes in the levels of serum P substances (SP), inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10], and the National Hospital Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Barthel index scores were recorded. Surgery related indicators and prognosis were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS The operation time (105.26 ± 28.35) of the observation group was min longer than that of the control group, and the volume of intraoperative bleeding was 45.36 ± 10.17 mL more than that of the control group. The hematoma clearance rates were 88.58% ± 4.69% and 94.47% ± 4.02% higher than those of the control group at 48 h and 72 h, respectively. Good prognosis rate (86.44%) was higher in the observation group than in the control group, and complication rate (5.08%) was not significantly different from that of the control group (P > 0.05).The SP level and Barthel index score of the two groups increased (P < 0.05) and the inflammatory factors and NIHSS score decreased (P < 0.05). The cytokine levels, NIHSS score, and Barthel index score were better in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION Neuroendoscopic minimally invasive surgery is more complicated than hard channel minimally invasive puncture drainage in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage; however, hematoma clearance is more thorough, and the short-term effect and long-term prognosis are better than hard channel minimally invasive puncture drainage.

Long-term outcome of stereotactic aspiration, endoscopic evacuation, and open craniotomy for the treatment of spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhage: a propensity score study of 703 cases. ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2021; 9:1289. [PMID: 34532426 PMCID: PMC8422088 DOI: 10.21037/atm-21-1612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2021] [Accepted: 07/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Background To compare the long-term therapeutic effects of stereotactic aspiration (SA), endoscopic evacuation (EE), and open craniotomy (OC) in the surgical treatment of spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhage and explore the appropriate clinical indications for each technique. Methods Multiple-treatment inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW)-adjusted logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of these techniques. The primary and secondary outcomes were 6-month modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and mortality rates, respectively. Results A total of 703 patients were ultimately enrolled. For the entire cohort, the 6-month mortality rate was significantly higher (OR 2.396, 95% CI: 1.865–3.080), and the 6-month functional outcome was significantly worse (OR 1.359, 95% CI: 1.091–1.692) for SA than that of EE. The 6-month mortality rate for OC was significantly higher (OR 1.395, 95% CI: 1.059–1.837) than that of EE. Further subgroup analysis was stratified by initial hematoma volume and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score. The mortality rate for SA was significantly higher for patients with hematoma volume of 20–40 mL (OR 6.226, 95% CI: 3.848–10.075), 40–80 mL (OR 2.121, 95% CI: 1.492–3.016), and ≥80 mL (OR 5.544, 95% CI: 3.315–9.269) than in the same subgroups of EE. The functional outcomes for SA were significantly worse than that of EE for hematoma volume subgroups of 40–80 mL (OR 1.424, 95% CI: 1.039–1.951) and ≥80 mL (OR 4.224, 95% CI: 1.655–10.776). The mortality rate for SA was significantly higher than that of EE for the GCS score subgroups of 6–8 (OR 2.082, 95% CI: 1.410–3.076) and 3–5 (OR 2.985, 95% CI: 1.904–4.678). The mortality rate for OC was significantly higher for the GCS score of 3–5 subgroup (OR 1.718, 95% CI: 1.115–2.648), and a tendency for a higher mortality rate of 6–8 subgroup (OR 1.442, 95% CI: 0.965–2.156) than that of EE. Conclusions EE can decrease the 6-month mortality rate and improve the 6-month functional outcomes of spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhage in patients with a hematoma volume ≥40 mL. EE can decrease the 6-month mortality rate of spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhage in patients with a GCS score of 3–8.

Clinical and radiographic factors involved in achieving a hematoma evacuation rate of more than 70% through minimally invasive catheter drainage for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. J Clin Neurosci 2021; 92:103-109. [PMID: 34509234 DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2021.07.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2021] [Revised: 07/23/2021] [Accepted: 07/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Although stereotactic or neuronavigation-guided hematoma drainage for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is widely used, its clinical efficacy and factors for predictive results remain to be fully elucidated. This study sought to determine the efficacy of hematoma evacuation for spontaneous ICH, in addition to the factors affecting it. We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent stereotactic or neuronavigation-guided catheter insertion for spontaneous ICH at our institute between April 2010 and December 2019. We identified and compared the clinical and radiographic factors between groups according to the hematoma evacuation rate of 70%. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors affecting hematoma evacuation. We investigated whether the hematoma evacuation rate was associated with patient survival. A total of 95 patients who underwent stereotactic or neuronavigation-guided catheter insertion and hematoma drainage for spontaneous ICH were included. A multivariate analysis indicated that a hematoma volume of 30-60 cm3 (odds ratio [OR] = 8.064, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.285-28.468, P = 0.001), blend sign (OR = 6.790, 95% CI = 1.239-37.210, P = 0.027), diabetes (OR = 0.188, 95% CI = 0.041-0.870, P = 0.032), and leukocytosis (OR = 3.061, 95% CI = 1.094-8.563, P = 0.033) were significantly associated with a higher hematoma evacuation. The mean hematoma evacuation rate in patients with 1-month mortality was lower than that in survivors (P = 0.051). Our study revealed that a hematoma volume of 30-60 cm3, the presence of a blend sign and leukocytosis, and the absence of diabetes are independent predictors that affect more than 70% of hematoma evacuations.

Kobata H, Ikeda N. Recent Updates in Neurosurgical Interventions for Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Minimally Invasive Surgery to Improve Surgical Performance. Front Neurol 2021; 12:703189.

Abstract
The efficacy and safety of surgical treatment for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) have long been subjects of investigation and debate. The recent results of the minimally invasive surgery plus alteplase for intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation (MISTIE) III trial demonstrated the safety of the procedure and a reduction in mortality compared to medical treatment. Although no improvement in functional outcomes was shown, the trial elucidated that benefits of intervention depend on surgical performance: a greater ICH reduction, defined as ≤ 15 mL end of treatment ICH volume or ≥70% volume reduction, correlated with significant functional improvement. Recent meta-analyses suggested the benefits of neurosurgical hematoma evacuation, especially when performed earlier and done using minimally invasive procedures. In MISTIE III, to confirm hemostasis and reduce the risk of rebleeding, the mean time from onset to surgery and treatment completion took 47 and 123 h, respectively. Theoretically, the earlier the hematoma is removed, the better the outcome. Therefore, a higher rate of hematoma reduction within an earlier time course may be beneficial. Neuroendoscopic surgery enables less invasive removal of ICH under direct visualization. Minimally invasive procedures have continued to evolve with the support of advanced guidance systems and devices in favor of better surgical performance. Ongoing randomized controlled trials utilizing emerging minimally invasive techniques, such as the Early Minimally Invasive Removal of Intra Cerebral Hemorrhage (ENRICH) trial, Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Surgical Treatment with Apollo/Artemis in Patients with Brain Hemorrhage (INVEST) trial, and the Dutch Intracerebral Hemorrhage Surgery Trial (DIST), may provide significant information on the optimal treatment for ICH.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to introduce a technical note and to explore the efficacy of endoscopic surgery combined with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) navigation for supratentorial deep cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM). A prospectively maintained database of CCM patients was reviewed to identify all CCM patients treated by endoscopic surgery. The sagittal T1-weighted anatomical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and DTI were acquired before surgery. Endoscopic surgery was planned and performed based on preoperative DTI images and intraoperative DTI navigation. All patients were followed up more than 6 months. Motor function deficit and modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores were documented on follow-up. A final mRS score of 0–2 was considered a good outcome, and a final mRS score >2 was considered a poor outcome. Second DTI and 3DT1 were performed at 3 months after surgery. We tracked the ipsilateral corticospinal tract (CST) on pre- and postoperative DTI images. The overall mean FA values and the number of fibers of tracked CST were compared on pre- and postoperative DTI images. Risk factors associated with motor deficits and poor outcomes were analyzed. Seven patients with deep CCM and treated by endoscopic surgery were enrolled in this study. The mean value of preoperative mRS was 1.5 ± 0.98, but that score recovered to 0.86 ± 1.22 3 months later. The mRS scores were improved significantly according to statistical analysis (p = 0.012). According to the Spearman non-parametric test, only the fiber number of ipsilateral CST on postoperative DTI was significantly associated with muscle strength 6 months after surgery (p = 0.032). Compared with preoperative CST characteristics on DTI, the change of FA value (p = 0.289) and fiber number (p = 0.289) of ipsilateral CST on postoperative DTI was not significant It meant that the CST was protected during endoscopic surgery. Endoscopic surgery based on DTI navigation might be an effective method to protect fiber tracts in supratentorial deep CCM patients and improve long-term outcomes. However, more studies and cases are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to determine the safety and effectiveness of DTI-assisted neuroendoscopy for treating intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Methods This retrospective study included clinical data from 260 patients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH who received neuroendoscopic hematoma removal. Patients were separated into groups based on the surgery method they received: DTI-assisted neuroendoscopy (69 cases) and standard neuroendoscopy (191 cases). All patients were followed up for 6 months. Multivariate logistic regression analyzed the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients. The outcomes of the two groups were compared using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Results The prognostic modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score was significantly better (P = 0.027) in the DTI-assisted neuroendoscopy group than in the standard neuroendoscopy group. Logistic regression analysis showed that DTI-assisted neuroendoscopy is an independent protective factor for a favorable outcome (model 1: odds ratio [OR] = 0.42, P = 0.015; model 2: OR = 0.40, P = 0.013). Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to show that the median time for a favorable outcome was 66 days (95% confidence interval [CI] = 48.50-83.50 days) in the DTI-assisted neuroendoscopy group and 104 days (95% CI = 75.55-132.45 days) in the standard neuroendoscopy group. Log-rank testing showed that the DTI-assisted neuroendoscopy group had a lower pulmonary infection rate (χ 2 = 4.706, P = 0.030) and a better prognosis (χ 2 = 5.223, P = 0.022) than the standard neuroendoscopy group. The survival rate did not differ significantly between the DTI-assisted neuroendoscopy group and the standard neuroendoscopy group (P > 0.05). Conclusions The use of DTI in neuroendoscopic hematoma removal can significantly improve neurological function outcomes in patients, but it does not significantly affect the mortality of patients.

Abstract
Background: The efficacy of endoscopic surgery for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) has been previously reported, but differences in the effect between early and late elderlies remain unclear. Methods: Ninety-seven patients diagnosed with putaminal hemorrhage (age, ≥65 years; hematoma volume, ≥30 mL) were included in this retrospective analysis and separated into three treatment groups: craniotomy surgery (CR), endoscopic surgery (EN), and non-surgical (NS) groups. The patients were additionally subdivided into two groups according to age: patients aged 65–74 years (“early elderlies”) and patients aged ≥75 years (“late elderlies”). Their clinical data and outcomes at discharge were compared using statistical analyses. Results: The CR and the EN groups were associated with lower mortality rates (P < 0.001), lower modified Rankin Scale (mRS; P = 0.007), and lower National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS; P = 0.029) compared to the NS group. Early elderlies in the CR and EN groups with ICH scores of 3 also had significantly better outcomes (P = 0.001). The proportion of patients with mRS ≤ 4 was highest in the early elderlies of the EN group (P = 0.553). Although significant differences in the change of NIHSS scores between the early and late elderlies was not observed, significantly improved NIHSS scores were observed in the EN group compared to the NS group, even in the late elderlies (P = 0.037). Conclusion: The evacuation of deep-seated intracranial hematomas using the endoscope might improve functional outcomes and mortality, regardless of age.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) continues to have high morbidity and mortality. Improving ICH outcomes likely requires rapid removal of blood from the parenchyma and restraining edema formation while also limiting further neuronal damage due to the surgical intervention. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) approaches promise to provide these benefits and have become alluring options for management of ICH. This review describes six MIS techniques for ICH evacuation including craniopuncture, stereotactic aspiration with thrombolysis, endoport-mediated evacuation, endoscope-assisted evacuation, adjunctive aspiration devices, and the surgiscope. The efficacy of each modality is discussed based on current literature. The largest clinical trials have yet to demonstrate definitive effects of MIS intervention on mortality and functional outcomes for ICH. Thus, there is a significant need for further innovation for ICH treatment. Multiple ongoing trials promise to better clarify the potential of the newer, non-thrombolytic MIS techniques.

Abstract
Spontaneous supratentorial intracranial hemorrhage is extremely disabling and is associated with high mortality. Primary treatment for patients with this disease process is maximal medical management with blood pressure control and correction of clotting disorders due to comorbid conditions or medications. Over the past decade, significant strides have been made in understanding the benefits of surgical intervention in the treatment of intracranial hemorrhage through multiple clinical trials. In this article, we review the evolution of surgical treatments beginning with the STICH trials, discuss new developments with minimally invasive surgical strategies, and provide a brief update regarding ongoing trials and future directions in the treatment of spontaneous supratentorial intracranial hemorrhage.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most common form of hemorrhagic stroke with high morbidity and mortality. Rapid and massive bleeding may compress the brain tissue, causing space-occupying and pathological effects, such as reduced local cerebral blood flow, acidosis, and inflammatory and immune responses. Although the development of minimally invasive technique provides a new option for the treatment of ICH, their application is limited due to the difficulty in achieving accurate puncture localization under the guidance of the marks on CT. We selected 30 patients treated with neuroendoscopic surgery guided by 3D-printed navigation technology (experimental group) and 30 patients treated with neuroendoscopic surgery guided by hand-painted on the patient's body surface according to the marks on CT (control group). Our results showed that patients in the experimental group had a lower number of intraoperative punctures, shorter operation time, less intraoperative blood loss, higher hematoma clearance rate, and smaller volume of perihematomal edema than the patients in the control group. Moreover, patients in the experimental group had higher Glasgow Coma Scale score at discharge, shorter postoperative hospitalization time and ICU stay, and a lower rate of postoperative complications, despite the lack of statistically significant differences. In addition, no statistically significant differences were observed in mortality and Glasgow Outcome Scale score between the two groups. In conclusion, 3D-printed navigation technology used for the neuroendoscopic hematoma removal is a more reliable and less invasive approach in the treatment of ICH. This technique has great application prospects and deserves promotion in the future clinical practice.

Increased plasma plasmin-α2-plasmin inhibitor complex levels correlate with postoperative rebleeding after endoscopic surgery for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Acta Neurochir (Wien) 2020; 162:3129-3136. [PMID: 31781996 DOI: 10.1007/s00701-019-04154-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2019] [Accepted: 11/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative rebleeding (PR) is one of the most severe complications of endoscopic surgery, often performed to remove spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). However, the risk factors for PR remain unclear. OBJECTIVE This study retrospectively investigated whether increased preoperative plasma plasmin-α2-plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC) levels, indicating activation of fibrinolysis, are associated with PR. METHODS A total of 101 patients underwent endoscopic surgery to evacuate sICH at our institution from January 2010 to June 2019, and 79 patients who underwent examinations of plasma PIC levels at admission with available radiographical data were included. Correlations between PR and increased plasma PIC levels were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS PR occurred in eight patients (10.1%), and high PIC levels (≥ 4 or 6 μg/ml) were significantly associated with PR. The sensitivities employing high PIC levels of ≥ 4 μg/ml and ≥ 6 μg/ml were both 0.63, and the specificities using the same PIC levels were 0.86 and 0.92, respectively. Multivariable analyses showed that high plasma PIC levels of ≥ 4 μg/ml (odds ratio (OR), 12.77; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.65-98.77; p = 0.02) or ≥ 6 μg/ml (OR, 18.33; 95% CI, 2.32-144.82; p = 0.006) were independent predictors of PR. CONCLUSIONS This study found that increased plasma PIC levels were associated with PR following the endoscopic evacuation of sICHs, indicating that increased plasma PIC levels could be potentially used to predict PR. Further studies are needed to establish new surgical strategies and adjuvant treatments to improve surgical outcomes in patients with sICH prone to PR.
