Abstract:
Objective To explore the surgical techniques of keyhole approach craniotomy in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage in old patients. Methods CT-guided keyhole approach craniotomy was performed to treat 50 old patients with hypertensive hematomas from January 2000 to August 2003. Results CT scans within 12 postoperative hours showed over 90% hematomas were removed. The activity of daily living (ADL) classification results 6 months after the surgery were: grade Ⅰin 10 cases (20.0%), grade Ⅱ in 21 cases (42.0%), grade Ⅲ in 9 cases (18%), grade Ⅳ in 3 cases (6.0%), grade Ⅴ in 2 cases (4.0%), and grade Ⅵ in 5 cases (10.0%). Conclusions Senility is by no means a contraindication for surgery in the treatment of hypertensive hematomas and keyhole approach minimally invasive craniotomy can give a satisfactory effect.
