Objective: This study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy of stereotactic puncture for intracerebral hematoma removal, combined with postoperative individualized health education and rehabilitation training concerning hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. We also assessed its impact on rebleeding prevention and neurological function recovery.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted, including 90 patients diagnosed with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage in our hospital between March 2020 and June 2022. The inclusion criteria were patients with an episcleral hematoma volume exceeding 30 ml. The control group underwent minimally invasive removal using neuroendoscopy (45 patients), while the observation group received stereotactic puncture for intracerebral hematoma removal (45 patients). After surgery, both groups received individualized health education and rehabilitation training. The assessment included: (1) determination of clinical efficacy, (2) monitoring for rebleeding within 72 hours after surgery, (3) evaluation of daily living ability using the Barthel index, (4) assessment of motor function using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scale, and (5) monitoring for adverse reactions.
Results: The observation group, which underwent stereotactic puncture for intracerebral hematoma removal combined with postoperative individualized health education and rehabilitation training, exhibited significantly better clinical efficacy, Barthel index scores, and FMA scores compared to the control group that underwent neuroendoscopic minimally invasive removal (P < .05). Notably, no complications were observed in either group, and there was no significant difference in the postoperative bleeding rate within 72 hours.
Conclusions: The combined treatment approach of stereotactic puncture for intracerebral hematoma removal and postoperative individualized health education and rehabilitation training demonstrates promising therapeutic effects in managing hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. This approach also contributes significantly to the rehabilitation of patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, warranting widespread clinical adoption.
