Background: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for approximately 20% of all strokes and is associated with high mortality disability rates. Despite numerous trials, conventional surgical approaches have not demonstrated consistent improvements in functional outcomes. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) ICH evacuation has emerged as a promising alternative, the potential to improve outcomes reduce mortality. Objectives: This narrative review aims provide comprehensive overview various MIS techniques their reported impact on patients spontaneous while discussing key limitations existing literature. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed identify studies published from 1 January 2010 22 March 2024. The search strategy included following terms: ("minimally*"[All Fields] AND "invasive*"[All "surgery*"[All "intracerebral*"[All "hemorrhage*"[All Fields]) (2010:2024[pdat]). focuses randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluate clinical Results: Our identified six RCTs conducted between 2024, encompassing 2180 mean age 58.03 ± 4.5 years. Four significantly improved recovery (mRs ≤ 3), reduced mortality, fewer adverse events compared standard medical management or craniotomy. All rely stereotactic planning use tools such exoscopes, endoscopes, craniopuncture, thrombolytic irrigation precise hematoma evacuation. These brain tissue disruption precision. However, variability techniques, costs, lack an external validation limit generalizability these findings. Conclusions: shows alternative strategies ICH, offering encouraging evidence selected studies. findings remain limited by gaps literature, including need validation, significant methodological heterogeneity, economic challenges. Further rigorous are essential confirm long-term approaches.

Endoscopic surgery (ES) and small bone window craniotomy (SBWC) are commonly used methods for hematoma removal in cases of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, their long-term efficacy safety remain uncertain. A systematic search was performed the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library databases from inception to June 30, 2024. The primary outcomes assessed were 6-month favorable functional outcome rate evacuation rate. Following meta-analysis, a trial sequential analysis (TSA) conducted validate findings. Six randomized controlled trials included meta-analysis. ES demonstrated higher compared SBWC (56.8% vs. 48.0%, relative risk [RR] 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05-1.38, I2 = 28%), with TSA supporting this result. also group (mean difference [MD] 6.41, CI 1.83-10.99, I² 95%); however, did not support result due potential false-positive. Additionally, associated shorter operation times, less blood loss during surgery, lower pneumonia (MD -112.35, -165.27 -59.43; MD -151.22, -279.60 -22.84; RR 0.68, 0.51-0.91). meta-analysis indicate that offers better efficacy, loss, SBWC. Therefore, prioritizing over treating ICH appears be reasonable approach.
