    Neuroendoscopic surgery (NS) showed a significantly higher median hematoma reduction rate compared to stereotactic aspiration (SA) in treating intraparenchymal hemorrhage.

  • 2

    Patients undergoing NS experienced greater acute neurological improvement, with a median change in Glasgow Coma Scale of 4.0 points versus 0.5 points for SA.

  • 3

    Functional independence at discharge was achieved by 27.8% of NS patients compared to 15.7% of SA patients, indicating better outcomes with NS.

  • 4

    NS was associated with lower rates of symptomatic rebleeding (7.2% vs. 24.5%) and 30-day mortality (9.3% vs. 22.5%) compared to SA.

    The study highlights the potential advantages of NS in managing intraparenchymal hemorrhage across various anatomical locations, warranting further prospective validation.
