Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Enrolled subjects will receive hematoma evacuation using microsurgical techniques plus decompressive craniectomy. A part of ipsilateral temporo-fronal skull with the anterioposterior diameter of 10-15 cm will be removed in the surgery. External ventricular drainage will be applied for the subjects with the hematoma extending into lateral ventricles. An intracrnial pressure monitoring probe will be implanted in the surgery. The surgery will take approximate 120-180 minutes. Cranioplasty will be performed at 4-6 moths after the first surgery, which will take about 45-60 minutes.
Intervention code [1] 286938 0
Treatment: Surgery
Comparator / control treatment
Subjects will receive hematoma evacuation alone using microsurgical techniques. Bone flap will be returned in the surgery. External ventricular drainage will be applied for the subjects with the hematoma extending into lateral ventricles. An intracrnial pressure monitoring probe will be implanted in the surgery. The surgery will take appromiate 120-180 minutes.
