Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage - a common form of cardiovascular disease, characterized by high mortality and disability. One area in improving patient care remains the development of new minimally invasive surgical methods and devices. We describe a new method and device (funnel cannula), which after the special markings to the use of CT punktion entered into the cavity, followed by the evacuation of hematoma. In each case, depending on the depth of hematoma and its volume is cannula certain size. The device allows for a more radical removal of hematoma without significant damage to brain tissue.
