Comparison between surgical outcomes of the minipterional and pterional approaches in hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage patients

Background Intracerebral hemorrhage is a condition which entails high rates of morbidity and mortality. Effective interventions range from conservative treatment to surgical management. The minipterional approach is an alternative, minimally invasive method used to treat various lesions. This report aims to compare the clinical outcomes and length of hospital stay resulting from the minipterional and pterional approaches in basal ganglion hemorrhage. Results Demographic Data: The age of patients who underwent the pterional approach was significantly higher than that of the minipterional group. Clinical Outcomes: The minipterional group had better postoperative Glasgow Coma Scores and shorter length of hospital stay than their counterparts in the conventional group. Conclusion The minipterional approach is an effective alternative for treating hypertensive basal ganglion hemorrhage, yielding shorter hospital stays and better outcomes.
