Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Medical Imaging

Background:

Putaminal hemorrhage is a severe type of intracerebral hemorrhage often requiring surgical intervention.
Traditional surgical approaches can be invasive, carrying significant risks and potential complications.
Developing less invasive and effective surgical techniques is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Observation:

A novel freehand endoscopic surgical technique was developed for putaminal hemorrhage.
Three-dimensional imaging derived from CT scans was utilized for precise surgical planning.
Intraoperative reference points included the nasion and external auditory foramen, with the globus pallidus to insula median point as the target.

Findings:

The freehand endoscopic technique was applied to 15 patients with putaminal hemorrhage.

All procedures required a single puncture with no reported complications.

The median surgical time was 91.7 minutes, achieving a median hematoma removal rate of 95.9%.

Implications:

The freehand technique represents a simple, safe, and effective endoscopic approach for putaminal hemorrhage.
This method offers a less-invasive alternative for hematoma evacuation, potentially reducing patient morbidity.
Further research may validate this technique as a standard of care for putaminal hemorrhage treatment.
