Abstract
Recently, treatment of acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) by minimally invasive surgery with endoscopy has been successfully demonstrated. However, few case series are available on this procedure for ASDH, and the surgical indication has not been established. We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients (n = 26) aged 65 years or older who underwent endoscopic surgery (ES) for ASDH at our institution between January 2011 and March 2019. We then evaluated the surgical outcomes and procedure-related complications in patients who underwent ES. The mean hematoma reduction rate was over 90%. Percentage of favorable outcomes at discharge was 69.2% in ES-treated patients. The presence of a skull fracture, subarachnoid hemorrhage, midline shift/subdural hematoma thickness ratio > 1.0, and early surgery were associated with postoperative IPHs in patients who underwent ES or conventional surgery for ASDH. The present study revealed that ES for elderly patients with ASDH is likely to be an efficient and safe procedure when patients are selected appropriately. However, ES is not recommended in patients with significant IPHs on initial CT scan. Additionally, ES should be carefully considered in cases with the factors, where IPHs may progress following surgery.Keywords
