Postoperative intracerebral haematomas following stereotactic biopsies : Poor planning or poor execution?

© 2021 John Wiley & Sons Ltd..

BACKGROUND: Postoperative intracerebral haematomas represent a serious complication following stereotactic biopsy. We investigated the possible underlying causes - poor planning or poor execution - of postoperative intracerebral haematomas following stereotactic biopsies.

METHODS: We performed a technical investigation using a retrospective single-centre consecutive series of robot-assisted stereotactic biopsies for a supratentorial diffuse glioma in adults. Each actual biopsy trajectory was reviewed to search for a conflict with an anatomical structure at risk.

RESULTS: From 379 patients, 12 (3.2%) presented with a postoperative intracerebral haematoma ≥20 mm on postoperative CT-scan (3 requiring surgical evacuation); 11 of them had available intraoperative imaging (bi-planar stereoscopic teleangiography x-rays at each biopsy site). The actual biopsy trajectory was similar to the planned biopsy trajectory in these 11 cases. In 72.7% (8/11) of these cases, the actual biopsy trajectory was found to contact a structure at risk (blood vessel and cerebral sulcus) and identified as the intracerebral haematoma origin.

CONCLUSIONS: Robot-assisted stereotactic biopsy is an accurate procedure. Postoperative intracerebral haematomas mainly derive from human-related errors during trajectory planning.
