Abstract:Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of modified minimally invasive transfrontal long-diameter removal of long strip-shaped hematoma in the basal ganglia region by neuronavigation combined with endoscopic technology.Methods Thirty patients with long strip-shaped hematoma in the basal ganglia region from January 2020 to January 2023 were selected, and all hematoma was removed by neuroendoscopy. All of them underwent hematoma removal by neuroendoscopy and were grouped according to different surgical methods. Among them, 10 cases were treated with the traditional lateral frontotemporal cortical fistula procedure (group A), 8 cases were treated with the translateral fissure procedure (group B), and 12 cases were treated with the modified endoscopic transfrontal long diameter procedure assisted by neuronavigation (group C). Observe the perioperative related indicators (operation time, intraoperative blood loss, bone flap diameter, endoscopic swing angle, hematoma clearance rate, intracranial pressure on the 3rd and 7th days after operation) of the three groups of patients, as well as the prognosis [modified Rankin scale (mRS) score].Results All 30 patients underwent endoscopic resection of long linear hematoma in the basal ganglia region. The diameter of the bone flap in group C was significantly shorter than that in group A and group B, the angle of endoscopic swing was significantly smaller than that in group A and group B, the hematoma clearance rate was significantly higher than that in group A and group B, the intracranial pressure 7 days after the operation was significantly lower than that in group A and group B, and the operation time of group B was significantly longer than that of group A and group C, the intraoperative blood loss was significantly more than that in group A and group C, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the mRS score among the three groups of patients at 6 months after surgery (P = 0.294).Conclusion Neuronavigation-assisted modified endoscopic transfrontal long diameter clearance of long strip-shaped hematoma in the basal ganglia region can achieve the purpose of protecting the important lateral white matter fiber tracts, with a high hematoma clearance rate, mild postoperative secondary brain injury and edema, and good intracranial pressure control. It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
