Abstract
Background: Endoscopic evacuation of spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage has gained accepted popularity in the last decades as a minimally invasive technique alternative to traditional craniotomy with increased range of surgical indications to include the ganglionic haematomas that were previously inaccessible. Objectives: to enlighten the endoscopic use for evacuation of intracerebral hemorrhage. Patients & Methods: This study describes a prospective study that was conducted in faculty of medicine Al Azhar University and Damanhour medical national institute from November 2017 to November 2019 to evaluate the use of surgical endoscope in evacuation of spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage. Results: the study included 28 patients, the intraoperative time was 75 ± 18.65 minutes, the evacuation rate was 90.98% ± 4.6%, and the post-operative Glascow coma scale improved to a mean of 8.50 ± 3.46. Conclusion: The endoscopic evacuation of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is less invasive, less destructive, less time consuming and provides better visualization to the cavity of the hematoma and higher evacuation ratios. Keywords: Endoscopic, spontaneous, intracerebral haemorrhage.
