"This trial shows this procedure is safe, effective, generalizable and surgeons can offer it. It will certainly help in terms of getting patients out of the ICU faster,"
"Hemorrhagic stroke is the one place where we still don't have good surgical treatments, and this is why this study is so important because it's finally showing that there is hope on the horizon,"
Minimally invasive endoscopic surgery may be an effective and safe treatment for intracerebral hemorrhage. The procedure is described as safe, effective, generalizable, and able to be offered by surgeons. The approach can help shorten ICU stays for patients. Intracerebral hemorrhage occurs when a blood vessel ruptures in the brain and bleeds into surrounding brain tissue. Intracerebral hemorrhage accounts for approximately 15 percent of all strokes and has the highest mortality rate among stroke types. Current surgical approaches are maximally invasive, requiring removal of a large portion of the skull and an incision into the brain. Those maximally invasive procedures have improved mortality but have not consistently improved functional ability or cognitive outcomes after surgery.
