The brainstem is the center of human life, controlling vital functions such as breathing, circulation, heart rate, and blood pressure. Once bleeding occurs, patients often experience unstable vital signs, deep coma, and can die from brain function failure within a short period. Previously, it was believed that the brainstem was a no-go zone for surgery, and treatment for brainstem hemorrhage was primarily conservative medical therapy. However, with the continuous improvement of medical technology, neurosurgery departments in many top-tier hospitals have made significant achievements in minimally invasive or open surgeries for brainstem hemorrhages. Therefore, surgery for brainstem hemorrhage is not impossible and can be considered under specific circumstances.
