摘要

Background

Minimally invasive treatment of intracerebral hematomas is gaining importance following recent trials. Clot evacuation must minimise collateral damage while assuring optimal blood-volume reduction. Technical refinements call for systematic yet dynamic procedures, where ultrasound is an asset.

Method

Description of the “Scuba” procedure and workflow: stereotactic canula insertion, clot evacuation with aspiration-debriding system under endoscopic view. Step-by-step ultrasound findings detailed.

Conclusion

ICH endoscopic evacuation may become a workhorse for cerebrovascular surgeons. Ultrasound provides real-time feedback on hematoma evacuation, becoming a reliable dynamic element in intraoperative decision-making. Yet, US requires a different operative setup and adds on to the learning curve.
