Abstract: Objective To explore the clinical value and effect of neuronavigation-assisted neuroendoscopy for hypertensive lobar cerebral hemorrhage. Methods Clinical data of 35 cases treated with the neuroendoscopy(neuroendoscopy group) and 32 cases treated with the neuronavigation-assisted microscope (microscope group) were retrospectively analyzed. Data of the operative time, intraoperative blood loss and the clearance rate of hematoma, the postoperative complications (stress gastric ulcer, pulmonary infection, urinary tract infection and intracranial infection), the hospital stay, postoperative ability of daily life (ADL) in 6 months and fatality rates were observed and compared. Results The operative time and intraoperative blood loss were less in the neuroendoscopy group than those in the microscopy group,and the clearance rate of hematoma was higher in neuroendoscopy group than that in the microscopy group (P＜0.01). There was no significant difference in postoperative complications between the two groups (P＞0.05). The hospital stay was less in the neuroendoscopy group than that of the microscope group (P＜0.01). On the basis of ADL grading method, the prognosis of the endoscopy group was better than that of the craniotomy group (P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in the fatality rate between the neuroendoscopy group and the microscopy group (P＞0.05). Conclusion The neuronavigation assisted neuroendoscopy is a safe and effective surgical method for hypertensive lobar cerebral hemorrhage, and which can improve the prognosis of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.
