Abstract

BACKGROUND: Whether primary brainstem hemorrhage (PBH) should be treated with a conservative treatment or with surgical intervention (such as craniotomy, puncture, and drainage) is still controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of puncture and drainage for PBH with the assistance of a surgical robot.
