Application of intraoperative ultrasound in neurosurgery for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract Objective To explore the clinical significance of intraoperative ultrasound in neurosurgery for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods Patients with hypertensive ICH who required to undergo surgical treatment were assigned into treatment group (126 cases), who were assisted by intraoperative ultrasound, and control group (122 cases), who were not assisted by intraoperative ultrasound. In the treatment group, intraoperative ultrasound was used for real-time positioning after opening the bone flap, so as to guide the surgery. After surgery, conventional treatment and follow-up were conducted, and the statistical analysis was eventually performed to compare the therapeutic efficacy of the two groups. Results The mean rate of hematoma clearance was (95.20 ± 5.18)% in the treatment group and (86.20 ± 4.85)% in the control group (P Conclusions Intraoperative ultrasound possessed the features of precise positioning, real-time guidance, and being user-friendly, which can shorten the operation time, increase the efficacy of surgery, and improve patients’ overall prognosis, highlighting high clinical significance of intraoperative ultrasound in neurosurgery.
