title: [Surgical treatment of cerebral hematoma using an endoscopic method].
abstract: In the period from January 1990 to March 1991 in the Neurosurgery Department, Mining Industry Health Service Hospital in Sosnowiec 21 operations of evacuation of supratentorial intracranial haematomas were carried out by the endoscopic method using a neuroendoscope produced by K. Storz. The indication to this operation was a serious condition of the patients up to 10 points of the Glasgow scale, strictly limited extent of haematoma and ventricular system shifting over 5 mm in computed tomography. The mass of the haematoma could be evacuated in 70-90% and the patients were spared extensive craniotomy. Two patients had reoperations due to renewed haematoma formation. 48% of the patients left the hospital in good condition without neurological deficits and 42.5% had focal neurological signs.
