This study introduces an improved endoscopic technique for thalamic hemorrhage evacuation, showing better outcomes and preventing hydrocephalus. The new method enhances surgical efficiency and patient recovery for intracranial hemorrhage.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Intracranial Hemorrhage Management

Background:

  • Thalamic hemorrhage accounts for 10-15% of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) cases.
  • Craniotomy for thalamic hematoma evacuation has high mortality and morbidity.
  • Current endoscopic evacuation is limited by poor visualization and inefficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel endoscopic surgical technique for thalamic hematoma evacuation.
  • To improve visualization and efficiency in treating thalamic hemorrhage.
  • To reduce complications associated with thalamic hemorrhage treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Seven patients with thalamic hemorrhage and acute hydrocephalus underwent endoscopic evacuation using a polypropylene sheath.

  • The procedure involved a transcortical intraventricular approach via Keen's point.
  • Simultaneous hematoma removal from the intraventricular space and thalamus was achieved.

    • Main Results:

    • Postoperative Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores improved from a mean of 8.4 to 9.4.
    • The 30-day mortality rate was 15%.
    • No patients required shunt-dependent hydrocephalus, with an average Glasgow Outcome Scale score of 3.7 at 6 months.

    Conclusions:

    • A rigid endoscopic sheath approach from Keen's point to the trigone enhances thalamic hematoma evacuation efficiency.
    • This technique effectively prevents shunt-dependent hydrocephalus.
    • The described endoscopic method offers a less invasive and more efficient treatment for thalamic hemorrhage.
