Objective To explore the curative effects of microsurgical clearance for supratentorial hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data of 30 cases of supratentorial hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage in our hospital from January 2010 to January 2013 was carried out. According to the head CT images, the position of incision was determined. Under orotracheal intubation general anesthesia, a bone flap craniotomy was performed. A cortex fistula 2-3 cm in length was made. Then by using an automatic retraction device, the hematoma was revealed from the shallower to the deeper, and microscopic clearance of hematoma was completed. Results All the 30 cases of operation were successful. Re-examination of head CT scans on the first postoperative day showed hematoma was completely removed in 14 cases, was 90%cleared in 11 cases, and 80%in 5 cases. Four patients died within 4 weeks after operation (13.3%):2 patients died of cerebral hernia caused by brainstem function failure, 1 patient died of lung infection, and 1 patient died of multiple organ failure. The postoperative survival rate was 86.7%.The ADL grade assessment 3 months after operation showed gradeⅠin 7 cases, grade Ⅱin 9 cases, grade Ⅲin 6 cases, grade Ⅳ in 3 cases, and grade Ⅴin 1 case. Conclusion Microscopic hematoma clearance and open haemostatic intervention has advantages of little brain tissue damage, good haemostatic results, and satisfactory efficacy.

Objective To evaluate the key points of anesthetic management for retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy combined with inferior vena cava ( IVC ) tumor thrombectomy. Methods Perioperative clinical data of 3 patients undergoing retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy combined with IVC tumor thrombectomy from December 2010 to June 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 2 cases of level Ⅰthrombus and 1 case of level Ⅱthrombus.All the patients were given general anesthesia with intubation.Brief inferior vena cava occlusion was performed in the patient with level Ⅱ thrombus. Results The operation was completed smoothly in all the cases without conversions to open surgery. The operating time was 244, 333, and 289 min, respectively. The total IVC control time for level Ⅱ thrombus was 10 min.No intraoperative pulmonary embolism and other severe anesthetic complications occurred. One patient with level ⅠIVC thrombus was extubated and sent back to surgical ward after surgery, and the remaining 2 patients underwent intensive care monitoring overnight and were extubated and discharged to surgical ward on the next day. Conclusions Retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy and IVC thrombectomy is a brand-new, difficult but feasible procedure. Anesthesiologist should have a full recognition of surgical procedures and make perfect anesthetic plan to ensure close collaboration. Furthermore, circulatory swing during IVC clamping and perioperative severe complications such as pulmonary embolization and massive hemorrhage cannot be neglected.
