Abstract：Objective To compare the safety and efficacy of 3D-slicer software assisted neuroendo-scopic surgery and craniotomy for elderly patients with supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH)due to hypertension.Methods A total of 150 elderly hypertensive patients with supraten-torial ICH admitted in our department from January 2020 to December 2022 were enrolled,and according to their approaches,they were divided into an endoscopic group(n=82)and a cranioto-my group(n=68).Clinical surgical status(operation time,intraoperative bleeding volume and he-matoma clearance rate)and prognosis(length of ICU stay,GCS score,postoperative rebleeding,and in-hospital mortality)were observed and compared between the two groups of patients.Results There were no statistical differences between the two groups in terms of operation time,intraoperative bleeding volume,postoperative rebleeding,or in-hospital mortality(P＞0.05).The endoscopic group had significantly higher hematoma clearance rate[(84.73±6.49)％vs(78.94±7.12)％,P=0.000],shorter length of ICU stay[(5.38±1.48)d vs(7.32±1.26)d,P=0.000],higher GCS scores in 7 d and 3 months after surgery(12.66±0.83 vs 11.82±0.97,P=0.000;13.72±1.27 vs 13.05±0.98,P=0.001),and lower total incidence of complications(4.9％vs 16.2％,P=0.022)when compared with the endoscopic group.Conclusion 3D-slicer software as-sisted neuroendoscopic surgery can significantly improve postoperatively neurological function and reduce the incidence of complications in elderly hypertensive patients with supratentorial ICH.
