Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of treated neuroendoscope-assisted microscopic therapy for severe brainstem hemorrhage.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 98 patients with severe brainstem hemorrhage who were admitted to our hospital from January 2014 to March 2018. According to the treatment method, they were divided into surgery group with 39 patients and control group with 59 patients. The two groups were evaluated in terms of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score at 1 week after treatment, modified Rankin score at 3 months after treatment, response rate, mortality rate, and persistent vegetative state (PVS) survival.Results There were significant differences between the surgery group and the control group in GCS score at 1 week after treatment (t=2.39, P=0.012), modified Rankin score at 3 months after treatment (χ2=7.36, P=0.003), response rate (χ2=8.27, P=0.001), mortality rate (χ2=-6.15, P=0.006), and PVS survival rate (χ2=-5.43, P=0.014). The results of this study showed that neuroendoscope-assisted microscopic therapy had a better clinical effect than conservative treatment in the treatment of severe brainstem hemorrhage.Conclusions In the treatment of severe brainstem hemorrhage, neuroendoscope-assisted microscopic therapy can effectively improve response rate, reduce mortality rate and PVS survival rate, and finally improve patients' prognosis.
