Overview
The indications for surgery in patients with Intracerebral hemorrhage vary with the site of the bleed. Open craniotomy is the most widely studied surgical techniques in patients with supratentorial ICH.[1][2] Recently, several studies have shown minimally invasive aspiration associated with better outcomes with less invasive approaches compared to standard craniotomies.[3][4][5]
Surgery
The indications for surgery in patients with ICH vary with the site of the bleed.
Timing of surgery
- Timing of surgery for ICH remains controversial. Randomized prospective trials to date have reported on a wide time frame for surgery that ranges from 4 to 96 hours after symptom onset. Ultra-early craniotomy (within 4 hours from ictus) was associated with an increased risk of rebleeding in a study that involved 24 patients.[1][6][7][8]
Surgical techniques
Open craniotomy
Open craniotomy is the most widely studied surgical techniques in patients with supratentorial ICH.[1][2]
External ventricular drain (EVD)
External ventricular drain (EVD) or ventricular catheter (VC) is a small catheter that relieves elevated intracranial pressure and hydrocephalus when the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid around the brain is obstructed. it inserted through the skull and into the lateral ventricle.[9]
The indications for EVD includes:[10]
- IVH with hydrocephalus and neurologic decline
Minimally invasive surgical evacuation of ICH
Several recent randomized studies have shown minimally invasive aspiration associated with better outcomes with less invasive approaches compared to standard craniotomies.[3][4][5]
Site of the bleed
Supratentorial hemorrhage
Early hematoma evacuation has not been shown to be beneficial in the 2 latest randomized trials, and it is still unclarified whether surgery may benefit specific groups of patients with supratentorial ICH. Therefore, the routine evacuation of supratentorial ICH in the first 96 hours is not recommended.[1][2]
Standard craniotomy should be considered in following conditions:
- Hematoma near the cortical surface (lobar clots >30 mL within 1 cm of the surface)
- Recent onset of hemorrhage[4]
- Ongoing clinical deterioration
- Involvement of the nondominant hemisphere
Craniotomy should not be considered in:
- Patients who are either fully alert or deeply comatose
Posterior fossa hemorrhage
Because of the narrow confines of the posterior fossa, obstructive hydrocephalus and local mass effect on the brainstem can result in rapid deterioration of the patient with cerebellar hemorrhage.
- Surgical decompression in patients whom cerebellar hemorrhage is associated with brainstem compression, hydrocephalus, or patients with cerebellar hemorrhages >3 cm in diameteris are associated with good outcomes.[11]
- Controlling ICP via means other than hematoma evacuation, such as ventricular catheter VC insertion alone, is considered insufficient, is not recommended, and may actually be harmful.[12]
Intraventricular hemorrhage
- Using of ventricular catheter (VC) alone may be ineffective because of difficulty maintaining catheter patency and the slow removal of intraventricular blood.[13]
- There are now reports of alternative procedures for IVH, such as endoscopic surgical evacuation and ventriculostomy.

Hemostasis and Coagulopathy, Antiplatelet Agents, and DVT Prophylaxis: Recommendations
Surgical Treatment of ICH: Recommendations
| Class I |
| "1.Patients with cerebellar hemorrhage who are deteriorating neurologically or who have brainstem compression and/or hydrocephalus from ventricular obstruction should undergo surgical removal of the hemorrhage as soon as possible (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| Class III (Harm) |
| "1. Initial treatment of patients with cerebellar hemorrhage who are deteriorating neurologically or who have brainstem compression and/or hydrocephalus from ventricular obstruction is not recommended (Level of Evidence: C)" |
| Class IIb |
| "1. For most patients with supratentorial ICH, the usefulness of surgery is not well established (Level of Evidence: A)" |
| "2. A policy of early hematoma evacuation is not clearly beneficial compared with hematoma evacution when patients deteriorate (Level of Evidence: A)" |
| "3. Supratentorial hematoma evacuation in deteriorating patients might be considered as a life-saving measure (Level of Evidence: C)" |
| "4.Decompressive hemicraniectomy (DC) with or without hematoma evacuation might reduce mortality for patients with supratentorial ICH who are in a coma, have large hematomas with significant midline shift, or have elevated ICP refractory to medical management (Level of Evidence: C)" |
| "5. The effectiveness of minimally invasive clot evacuation with stereotactic or endoscopic aspiration with or without thrombolytic usage is uncertain (Level of Evidence: B)" |
