RESUMEN
Objective:To observe the effect of neuroendoscope-assisted drainage with lumbar cistern and large bone flap decompression in the treatment of craniocerebral injury complicated with temporal uncinate herniation.Methods:A total of 80 patients with craniocerebral trauma and temporal uncinate herniation hospitalized in Lanling County People′s Hospital from January 2017 to October 2020 were retrospectively included and divided into the observation group and the control group according to the surgical methods, with 40 patients in each group. Surgical procedures were performed by the same group of experienced neurosurgeons. The observation group was treated with neuroendoscope-assisted drainage with lumbar cistern and large bone flap decompression, while the control group was treated with large bone flap decompression only. Cephalic CT was reexamined before and 48 h after the surgery to compare the appearance rates of cisterna ambiens and suprasellar cistern. Intracranial pressure (ICP) was monitored at 3, 5 and 7 d after the surgery, and the scores of Glasgow coma scale(GCS) was recorded. Drainage time, postoperative cerebral edema and cerebral infarction complications were recorded and compared between the two groups. Six months after the surgery, the prognosis was assessed by the Glasgow prognostic scale (GPS).Results:The occurrence rates of cisterna ambiens and suprasellarcistern in the observation group were higher than those in the control group: 67.50%(27/40) vs. 45.00%(18/40), 65.00%(26/40) vs. 42.50%(17/40), χ2 = 4.11, 4.07, P<0.05. The ICP value in the observation group at 3, 5 and 7 d after the surgery were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the scores of GCS in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, there were statistical differences( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in drainage time between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative cerebral edema in the observation group was lower than that in the control group:7.50%(3/40) vs. 25.00%(10/40), χ2 = 4.50, P<0.05. The incidence of postoperative cerebral infarction in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the volume of cerebral infarction was smaller than that in the control group: 5.00%(2/40) vs. 22.50%(9/40), (6.68 ± 1.75) cm 3 vs. (8.20 ± 2.15) cm 3, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group: 7.50%(7/40) vs. 40.00%(16/40), χ2 = 4.94, P<0.05. Six months after the surgery, the rate of good prognosis in the observation group was higher than that in the control group: 62.50%(25/40) vs. 35.00%(14/40), χ2 = 6.05, P<0.05. Conclusions:Neuroendoscope-assisted drainage with lumbar cistern and large bone flap decompression in the treatment of craniocerebral trauma and temporal uncinate herniation has good efficacy and safety.
