Neurosurgical Techniques

Advances in stereotactic navigation technology have helped to improve the ease, reliability, and workflow of neurosurgical intraoperative navigation. These advances have also allowed novel, minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques to emerge. Minimally invasive techniques for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) evacuation, including endoscopic evacuation and passive catheter drainage, are notable examples, and as these gain support in the literature and their use expands, stereotactic navigation will take on an increasingly important and central role. Each neurosurgical navigation system has unique characteristics. Operators may find that certain aspects are more important than others, depending on the environment in which the evacuation is performed and operator preferences. This review will describe the characteristics of three popular stereotactic neuronavigation systems and compare their advantages and disadvantages as they relate to minimally invasive ICH evacuation.

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. While traditional surgical techniques have shown marginal clinical benefit of ICH evacuation, minimally invasive techniques have shown some promise. Endoscopic evacuation of the hemorrhage may reduce the peri-hematoma edema and subsequent atrophy around the hemorrhage cavity. This study aims to quantify the changes in cavity volume following hematoma evacuation. Methods: Patients from the INVEST registry of minimally invasive ICH evacuation were included retrospectively if follow-up computed tomography (CT) scans were available for analysis. Hematoma cavity volumes were calculated from the immediate post-procedural and three-month follow-up CT scans using the Analyze Pro software. Results: Twenty patients had follow-up CT scans at a mean time of 93 days from hematoma evacuation. The average cavity size at follow-up was 11938.12 mm3 (SD: 6996.49). The change in cavity size compared to the prior CT was 6396.74 mm3 (median 2542; range: -1030-27543; SD: 8472.45). This represented mean growth in cavity volume of 54%. Conclusions: This study provides preliminary data describing increase in cavity size after endoscopic minimally invasive evacuation of ICH. Comparison to atrophy in conservatively-managed patients is a further planned avenue of research.

Object Surgical evacuation of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) remains a subject of controversy. Minimally invasive techniques for hematoma evacuation have shown a trend toward improved outcomes. The aim of the present study is to describe a minimally invasive alternative for the evacuation of sICH and evaluate its feasibility. Methods The authors reviewed records of all patients who underwent endoscopic evacuation of an sICH at the UCLA Medical Center between March 2002 and March 2011. All patients in whom the described technique was used for evacuation of an sICH were included in this series. In this approach an incision is made at the superior margin of the eyebrow, and a bur hole is made in the supraorbital bone lateral to the frontal sinus. Using stereotactic guidance, the surgeon advanced the endoscopic sheath along the long axis of the hematoma and fixed it in place at two specific depths where suction was then applied until 75%–85% of the preoperatively determined hematoma volume was removed. An endoscope's camera, then introduced through the sheath, was used to assist in hemostasis. Preoperative and postoperative hematoma volumes and reduction in midline shift were calculated and recorded. Admission Glasgow Coma Scale and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores were compared with postoperative scores. Results Six patients underwent evacuation of an sICH using the eyebrow/bur hole technique. The mean preoperative hematoma volume was 68.9 ml (range 30.2–153.9 ml), whereas the mean postoperative residual hematoma volume was 11.9 ml (range 5.1–24.1 ml) (p = 0.02). The mean percentage of hematoma evacuated was 79.2% (range 49%–92.7%). The mean reduction in midline shift was 57.8% (p < 0.01). The Glasgow Coma Scale score improved in each patient between admission and discharge examination. In 5 of the 6 patients the mRS score improved from admission exam to last follow-up. None of the patients experienced rebleeding. Conclusions This minimally invasive technique is a feasible alternative to other means of evacuating sICHs. It is intended for anterior basal ganglia hematomas, which usually have an elongated, ovoid shape. The approach allows for an optimal trajectory to the long axis of the hematoma, making it possible to evacuate the vast majority of the clot with only one pass of the endoscopic sheath, theoretically minimizing the amount of damage to normal brain.

Object The aim of this study was to describe a new, minimally invasive technique for the endoscopic evacuation of intracerebral hematomas (ICHs) and the clinical and radiological outcomes in patients who underwent the procedure. The authors used a multifunctional three-in-one endoscopic instrument that combines a 0°, 4-mm rigid telescope, an irrigation cannula, and a cautery electrode. Methods In 13 patients a small keyhole craniotomy was made through noneloquent cortex to gain access to the hematoma. After opening the dura mater, a small cortical tunnel (~6 mm in diameter) was created using bipolar forceps and suction to enter into the clot. The three-in-one endoscope was then introduced to provide illumination and irrigation inside the cavity. The clot was safely aspirated under endoscopic vision and constant irrigation by performing microsurgical suction with the other hand. Hemostasis could be achieved using electrocautery and Surgicel. This technique eliminates the use of an endoscopic sheath, thus providing more maneuverability to the neurosurgeon. The brilliant illumination provided by the endoscope and the possibility of using electrocautery in the depths of the brain combined with the increased maneuverability make this technique valuable. Near-complete hematoma evacuation was achieved in 11 (85%) of 13 patients. There were four deaths (30%). Conclusions Safe and effective evacuation of large ICHs is possible by using the three-in-one endoscopic device. Appropriate indications for surgery in patients with large intracerebral hemorrhage must be developed.
