Neuro-endoscopic hematoma evacuation is a crucial therapeutic approach for intracerebral hemorrhage. Our research team has developed a portable and contact neuro-endoscopy technique to enhance the conventional endoscopy procedure. compared to traditional endoscopy, this innovative approach involves miniaturizing the lens, light source, and camera system. These components are integrated into a stainless steel tube with a diameter of 4 mm, referred to as the portable endoscopy in this study. The portable endoscopy is powered by a USB cable and the video is displayed on a tablet computer. This portable endoscope facilitates easier operation with both hands by a single surgeon.
