Abstract
The role of surgery in the treatment of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains controversial. Current recommendations support performing surgery for large or compressive cerebellar hemorrhages. The benefit of surgery for supratentorial ICH has not been definitively demonstrated. Data from the Minimally Invasive Surgery with Thrombolysis in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Evacuation (MISTIE) trials and other studies suggest that effective removal of the blood clot may decrease perihematomal edema and improve outcomes in a dose-dependent fashion. With this knowledge, a wave of new minimally invasive evacuation studies is underway or under development to further explore this treatment strategy in a devastating form of stroke with few existing treatment options.
