[Chinese expert consensus on surgical treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage based on parafascicular approach(2024 edition)].

Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) is one of the main causes of death and disability in Chinese people. Surgical treatment can reduce the mortality rate of patients with HICH, but cannot improve functional prognosis. Therefore, promoting the neurological function recovery of surviving patients has become the focus of treatment for HICH. The corticospinal tract (CST) is the main descending fiber bundle that maintains motor function, and its integrity determines the degree of motor function recovery. Therefore, reducing CST injury is expected to improve motor dysfunction in patients with supratentorial deep HICH. Standardizing the indications, surgical strategies, and operational procedures for minimally invasive surgical treatment via the parafascicular approach can achieve maximum hematoma clearance and minimal white fiber bundle damage, which is beneficial for promoting the recovery of white matter fibers and improving neurological function prognosis. The Chinese Congress of Neurological Surgeons of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, the Intracerebral Hemorrhage Minimally Invasive Surgical Treatment Branch of the Chinese Stroke Association, and the Stroke Branch of the Chongqing Medical Association organized relevant domestic experts to systematically query and evaluate existing relevant research evidence, refer to relevant international consensus and guidelines, and combine national conditions and domestic needs. A total of 31 recommendations were formed for preoperative examination, surgical indications, intraoperative positioning, surgical methods, hemostasis techniques, and perioperative management for surgical treatment of HICH based on white matter fiber protection, hoping to provide important reference for the surgical treatment of HICH.
