Hematoma Evacuation

Hematoma evacuation is a neurosurgical procedure that removes accumulated blood from inside or around the brain to relieve pressure and limit secondary neurological injury. Depending on the hematoma’s size, location, timing, and clinical effects, surgeons may access it through a craniotomy, burr hole, or minimally invasive catheter-based approach, then remove or drain the clot while controlling bleeding. In neuroscience and acute care, the procedure can reduce intracranial pressure, restore space for compressed brain tissue, and support neurological recovery. Imaging, neurological examination, and postoperative monitoring guide treatment decisions and help assess outcomes.

Preclinical models of intracerebral hemorrhage are utilized to mimic certain aspects of clinical disease. Thus, mechanisms of injury and potential therapeutic strategies may be explored. In this protocol, two models of intracerebral hemorrhage are described, intrastriatal (basal ganglia) injections of autologous blood or collagenase.

All animal procedures described here must be conducted in accordance with institutional animal ethics guidelines and approved by IACUC. All procedures must follow the principles of the 3Rs—Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement—and must be performed by trained personnel. Blood collection is a common procedure in swine research and clinical studies. The choice of sampling site depends on the animal's age, body size, the volume of blood required, the study objectives and approved IACUC...

This prospective study evaluated the implementation of a novel, single-port, robotic platform in oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery for malignant lesions. The primary endpoint focused on technical success, defined as the achievement of tumor-free resection margins confirmed by intraoperative frozen-section histopathology, with secondary assessment of aesthetic outcomes and life quality score of patients.
