Hypertensive intracranial hematomas: endoscopic-assisted keyhole evacuation and application of patent viewing dissector.
To study the effect of endoscopic-assisted keyhole operation (EAKO) on treating hypertensive intracranial hematomas and the value of our patent dissector applied during the operation. ⋯ EAKO has the advantage of being minimally invasive, improving surgical results and the prognosis of hypertensive intracranial hematoma patients. We conclude that keyhole operation is a safe, effective alternative for removal of hypertensive intracranial hematoma, particularly during acute stages.
