Novel Neurosurgical Device for Evacuation of Intracerebral Hematoma
PROJECT SUMMARY Spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) affects nearly 67,000 patients every year in the US and is associated with a 35-50% mortality rate within a month of occurrence. In addition to preventive measures and medical management, surgery continues to be an important part of treatment for such patients. Currently, removal of ICH from the brain is accomplished through a craniotomy, or large skull opening. For most large hematomas that come to the surface of the brain, this technique is effective in providing adequate surgical exposure to remove the mass and to obtain hemostasis. A craniotomy, however, is time consuming and retraction of the brain during these…
