Brief Summary

The effectiveness of craniotomy in the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage remains controversial. Two main types of minimally invasive surgery, endoscopic evacuation and stereotactic aspiration, have been attempted for hematoma removal and show some advantages. However, prospective and controlled studies are still lacking. This is a multi-center randomized controlled trial designed to determine whether minimally invasive hematoma evacuation with endoscopic or stereotactic aspiration will improve the outcome in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage compared with small-boneflap craniotomy. Patients will be randomly assigned to endoscopy group, stereotactic aspiration group or small-boneflap craniotomy group in a 1:1:1 ratio.
