Core Tip
Core Tip: Endoscopic evacuation is a minimally invasive technique used to treat intraventricular hemorrhage. However, skilled manipulation is required when applying the technique, the evidence supporting its efficacy differs in different reports. Here, we present our experience in patients with intraventricular hemorrhage who underwent endoscopic intraventricular hematoma evacuation, and compared the efficacy of the technique with traditional external ventricular drainage using real-world data. The results indicate that endoscope evacuation was effective and efficient for treating intraventricular hemorrhage, and led to a higher rate of hemorrhage evacuation and a more remarkable recovery in consciousness than patients who underwent non-endoscopic surgery.
