ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

This technology can be further promoted and applied in clinical practice, which will certainly achieve better clinical therapeutic effect, improve the curative effect of surgery, and be more minimally invasive and reasonable.

Research motivation

Patients with Chronic Subdural Hematoma (CSH) can achieve good therapeutic effect by using our way to positioning and design to assist the operation of CSH according to computed tomography (CT) scan and image, and our way is very useful and necessary.

Research objectives

We designed a new surgical incision method of neuroendoscopy under CT imaging technology for chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH), and achieved satisfactory therapeutic effect through the application of the above methods.

Research methods

A minimally invasive surgical incision design suitable for cSDH under neuroendoscopy was designed by using neuroendoscopy technology, combined with the study of CT and other imaging technologies.

Research results

To study more convenient methods of surgical incision and bone window size for the treatment of cSDH under neuroendoscopy, so as to make the operation more minimally invasive.

Research conclusions

The bone window for the treatment of cSDH under neuroendoscopy needs to vary from person to person; otherwise, the bone window may be too large or too small during the operation, which may affect the operation.

Research perspectives

Neuroendoscopy is a very useful technique to CSH. But how to achieve the goal of treatment more minimally invasive? How can incisions be designed and positioned to be more minimally invasive?
