A comparison of neuroendoscopic minimally invasive surgery and traditional extraventricular drainage for severe hypertensive intraventricular hemorrhage:a single-center retrospective study
Objective To analyze the safety and efficacy of neuroendoscopic minimally invasive surgery and traditional extraventricular drainage in the treatment of severe hypertensive intraventricular hemorrhage.Methods The clinical data of 50 cases with neuroendoscopic ventricular hematoma evacuation(endoscopy group)and 44 cases with traditional ventricles external puncture drainage(drainage group)from July 2020 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed,and the hematoma clearance rates,classification of activities of daily living(ADL)scale,incidence of hydrocephalus,secondary bleeding,intracranial infection,and pulmonary infection were observed between the two groups of patients.Results After surgery,the proportion of patients with hematoma clearance rate>60%and ADL grades Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ in the endoscopy group were significantly higher than those in the drainage group[the proportion of patients with hematoma clearance rate>60%:88.0%(44/50)vs.47.7%(21/44),χ2=17.794,P<0.001;the proportion of individuals with ADL grades Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ:94.0%(47/50)vs.77.3%(33/44),respectively,χ2=5.459,P=0.019],the incidence of complications in endoscopy group was significantly lower in the drainage group[8.0%(4/50)vs.34.1%(15/44),χ2=9.879,P=0.002].Conclusion Compared with traditional ventricular puncture drainage surgery,neuroendoscopic minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of severe hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage with ventricular casting can achieve better treatment outcomes,a higher hematoma clearance rate,and fewer postoperative complications.
