Abstract: Objective To summarize the experience of surgery for hypertensive intraventricular hemorrhage with self-made neuroendoscope-assisted equipments. Methods Twenty-two patients with ventricular hemorrhage, admitted to our hospital from January 2006 to May 2009, were chosen; surgery with self-made neuroendoscope-assisted equipments was performed on them. Results CT 24 h after the surgery showed that the clearance rate of intraventrieular hematoma was higher than 90% (median 92.7%). No hydrocephalus, postoperative intracranial infection or secondary hemorrhage appeared in all the patients. All patients were followed up for 6 months. According to GOS, the result was excellent in 9 patients, good in 8, fare in 3, poor in 1 and dead in 1. Conclusion Endoscopic surgery for ventricular hemorrhage with self-made neuroendoscope-assisted equipments is minimally invasive and effective with direct-vision, low complication and effective hemorrhage evacuation;it also improves good neurological outcomes.
