N2 - Background: Endoscopic hematoma removal is performed to treat intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) at the basal ganglia. In our hospital, young neurosurgical trainees perform it for the only 1st to the 3rd time. We perform a “trans-forehead approach” and hypothesized that our technique would contribute to higher hematoma removal rate and easiness despite their inexperience. We compared our dataset with an open dataset with along-the-long-axis approaches using pre- and intraoperative neuronavigation by well-trained neurosurgeons and tested the utility of our trans-forehead approach. Methods: We retrospectively investigated our 17 consecutive patients with hypertensive ICH who underwent endoscopic hematoma removal using the trans-forehead approach. We obtained the open dataset and compared our data with the 12 patients from the open dataset using the inverse probability weighting method. Operative time, hematoma removal rate, postoperative hematoma volume, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) on day 7, and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 6 months were assessed as outcomes. Results: The median age was 68 (interquartile range; 58-78) years. Median postoperative hematoma volume, removal rate, operative time, GCS on day 7, and mRS at 6 months were 9 (2-24) mL, 90 (79-98)%, 53 (41-80) min, 13 (12-13), and 4 (2-5), respectively. The weighted generalized estimating equations revealed that operative time was shorter in the along-the-long-axis group, but other items were not significantly different between the two approaches. Conclusion: The hematoma removal rate of endoscopic hematoma removal with the trans-forehead approach by young trainees was not different from that of the along-the-long-axis approach by well-trained neurosurgeons using neuronavigation.
