Abstract

Objective To discuss the application of early time window modified stereotaxic aspiration in converting operation therapy on the specified acute epidural hematoma. Methods 21 patients with the specified acute epidural hematoma were treated with early time window modified stereotaxic aspiration drainage, using YL-1 hematoma puncture needle with silica gel ventricular drainage tube. Results The successful rate of puncture was 100%.Hematoma was completely cleared in 19 cases.A small amount of epidural effusion was remained in 2 cases.1 case had concomitant rebleeding during the puncture, and shifted to craniotomy. Conclusion Early time window modified stereotaxic aspiration drainage is a minimally invasive, safe and effective treatment on the specified acute epidural hematoma when mastering the indications, timing and skills of puncture.
