ABSTRACT:

Background

Multiple surgical techniques to perform minimally invasive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) evacuation are currently under investigation. The use of an adjunctive aspiration device permits controlled suction through an endoscope, minimizing collateral damage from the access tract. As with increased experience with any new procedure, performance of endoscopic minimally invasive ICH evacuation requires development of a unique set of operative tenets and techniques.

Objective

To describe operative nuances of endoscopic minimally invasive ICH evacuation developed at a single center over an experience of 80 procedures.

Methods

Endoscopic minimally invasive ICH evacuation was performed on 79 consecutive eligible patients who presented a single Health System between
