[Benefit of Intraoperative Mannitol Use during Endoscopic Surgery for Intracerebral Hemorrhage].

Endoscopic hematoma evacuation is an established treatment option for patients with intra- cerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The purpose of this study is to investigate the benefit of mannitol use during en- doscopic hematoma evacuation.

One hundred patients with ICH treated by endoscopic surgery from June 2009 to November 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. We divided them into mannitol administered group (n=19) and non- administered group (n=81).

As for the patient background, surgical time, amount of intraoperative bleeding, residual hema- toma, re-operation and postoperative 30-day mortality, no significant differences were found between the two groups.

There was no clear clinical benefit of intraoperative mannitol use during endoscopic surgery for ICH.
